Is this problem happening with Debian kernels only,
As I wrote before (quite a number of times actually: it would really help
if the people acting on this bug would read the bugreport and its history,
all the required information is there and has been repeated by me a number
of times. This would have save both you and me (and others) valuable
time because you wouldn't have to wait for my answer to a question that
has been answered a number of times already), it does not happen in the
kernels I compile myself, although I am convinced that the bug is in the
upstream kernel. I don't know for sure, though, I _do_ know that all
debian kernels are buggy, and none of my own.
Ok, I have to apologize for not digging in BTS hard enough. In the future
though please consider using the BTS version tracking feature to indicate
that the problem is still present in the newer kernels, instead of filing
a totally new bug. That way all the relevant information will be in one
collected in one place.
The only effect of removing such bugs would be to lose track of those bugs
and misinform debian users by hiding valid bugs. I thinkt hat would be a
great disservice to the users. The strength of the debian bts is precisely
that it documents known bugs in debian, not that it hides that info.
I hope you understand that keeping valid bugreports has great value, far
greater than the possible pride of having a (superficially) bug-free
package. The loss for other people who are suffering from the same or
similar bugs would be big.
You have a point here, I agree. I shouldn't have suggested to close this
bug. But the way I see it, you are the only person so far hitting it,
while using one particular application, which is not packaged for Debian.
Given that there are probably quite a few VPN/IP tunneling users out
there, it raises questions about whether this application might be at
fault (no offense intended, I know that you are the upstream author :-).
Now to something constructive. I'm willing to work on this bug and try to
reproduce and hopefully resolve it. It would help me a lot if you would
describe a simplest gvpe setup in which the bug can be reproduced, so that
I can build a few kernels interpolating between the Debian config and the
working config which you posted earlier, and try to figure out which
config option causes it. That'll hopefully give us some insight.
