defaultroute with PPP does not work

[Michael Rivera]

Binary package hint: openswan

Same as in Debian #449512 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=449512

Plesase update the Package to 1:2.4.9+dfsg-3 or newer.

openswan is broken in hardy 1:2.4.9+dfsg-1build1 with PPP.

I can see the same bug. I wonder why this is not fixed after two and a half years?

You can also download and install this Debian package on Ubuntu hardy. It appears to work:

Dear bug reporter,

I'm not sure how this problem can be fixed best in Ubuntu, if this is still an issue for you maybe an experienced Ubuntu developer could elaborate on the possibilities of an upload?

Kind regards
Harald Jenny

Dear Harald,

I believe that it can be fixed in Ubuntu (Hardy) by either upgrading to the Debian version of the package (openswan_2.4.12+dfsg-1.3+lenny4) or backporting the patch that fixes it from that package.

I believe that this bug has security implications, as it prevents a security mechanism (IPsec) from working properly and therefore forces other mechanisms or cleartext to be used, which lowers security. I hope that this would justify an SRU.

Cheers, Chris.

Hardy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the Hardy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
