Bug Description
If launched in an X-session, pppoeconf sets XDisplay or zenity (whichever exists) as $DIALOG. Later on, $DIALOG is called with the options --yesno and --clear, both of which, zenity does not understand. The program therefore aborts with the following misleading error message:
# pppoeconf
This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages.
# pppoeconf --help
This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages.
The workaround is to disable usage of zenity even if run under X.
