Package: ppp Version: 2.4.7-1+4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Booting a Debian Stretch or a Debian testing netinst ISO with modules=ppp-udeb parameter, the PPPoE configuration stage fails with a generic warning message, 'configuring ppp-udeb failed with code error 1', issued by the main-menu installer process. The failure is triggered by ppp-udeb.postinst post-install script. I was able to fix this, by editing this script line: INTERFACES=$(grep : /proc/net/dev | cut -d':' -f1 | sort | sed -e 's/ *//' | grep -E '^(eth|nas|tap|nic-)') to match this line: INTERFACES=$(grep : /proc/net/dev | cut -d':' -f1 | sort | sed -e 's/ *//' | grep -E '^(en|eth|nas|tap|nic-)') In short, the ppp-udeb post-install script doesn't take into account the predictable network interfaces naming scheme. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ppp depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.49 ii libc6 2.24-14 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii libpcap0.8 1.8.1-3 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii procps 2:3.3.12-3 ppp recommends no packages. ppp suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
