This was tested with version 3.12-r1, I'm not sure if this is sorted out with version 3.13. # equery belongs /etc/ppp/plugins * Searching for /etc/ppp/plugins ... net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.12-r1 (/etc/ppp/plugins) So this isn't a native ppp folder, rp-pppoe creates it. In then installs a README file with: # Directory created by rp-pppoe for kernel-mode plugin With this symlink: rp-pppoe.so -> /usr/lib64/pppd/2.4.8/rp-pppoe.so The issue is I had to manually update that symlink, because this is what's installed by the package: # equery files rp-pppoe * Searching for rp-pppoe ... * Contents of net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.12-r1: ... /etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so -> /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.7/rp-pppoe.so ... this stems from the merge order: # genlop -l | grep ppp Sat Apr 6 17:59:20 2019 >>> net-dialup/ppp-2.4.7-r7 Sat Apr 6 17:59:31 2019 >>> net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.12-r1 Mon Sep 30 13:25:35 2019 >>> net-dialup/ppp-2.4.7-r7 Sun Mar 29 09:58:08 2020 >>> net-dialup/ppp-2.4.8 And boom goes the symlink. If rp-pppoe used "plugin rp-pppoe" this would not be a problem, but since it does "plugin /etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so" this does not work so well. I've seen hints re rp-pppoe building it's own plugin. But I've not done proper research. As such there are three possibilities I think: 1. rp-pppoe should build it's own plugin into this folder. 2. rp-pppoe should be rebuild on ppp update in order to update it's symlink. 3. rp-pppoe should pass "plugin rp-pppoe.so" unless it does (1). I personally prefer option 3. Don't have time right now to patch it this way .. and would like some feedback on the ideas. Reproducible: Always
Bumped into this again just now. Symlink no longer gets installed at all. Recommendation at this stage: patch rp-pppoe to just pass "plugin pppoe" instead of the full path. Will create PR momentarily.
