Package: vpnc Version: 0.5.3r550-2 Severity: important the vpn can't be established with the message:
vpnc-connect: can't initialise tunnel interface: Inappropriate ioctl for device short investigation shows that in case /dev/net/tun does not exists vpnc creates it with open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666) = 3 after that a call ioctl(5, TUNSETIFF, 0x7fffbc71f7d0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fails. if i issue a mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 manually vpnc works fine. i assume that a non-existing /dev/net/tun is a bug as well, probably form another package (udev?) but vpnc should not create one in the given way. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vpnc depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.24 ii libc6 2.19-17 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.3-2 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-6 ii perl 5.20.2-2 ii vpnc-scripts 0.1~git20140806-1 Versions of packages vpnc recommends: ii iproute 1:3.16.0-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
