Component: program
Summary: mix-up bug in initscripts-6.91-18mdk.i586.rpm: old style
test_ipv6 and new style ipv6_test mixed up
Version: 6.91-18mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

Regarding initscripts-6.91-18mdk.i586.rpm (current cooker file), I'm quite sure
I have found a bug in that RPM (and in the older RPM
initscripts-6.91-10mdk.i586.rpm from Mandrake 9.0), which is easily solved by
getting all the up-to-date scripts from Bieringer's site:
Some scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ use the old style test_ipv6,
other scripts use the new style ipv6_test. For example, a problem is that
calling script 'ifup-sit' uses the function ipv6_test, whereas the function
provider script 'network-functions-ipv6' is still on test_ipv6. This is a mix-up
which causes that you can't use IPv6 tunnels on Mandrake 9.0 / Cooker.
The explanation is easy: somewhere in the past Bieringer switched his functions
from <blabla>_ipv6 to ipv6_<blabla>. Of course you should switch in one time,
which apparantly has not happened.
I've posted my experiences and the solution (updating the scripts from
Bieringer's site) in the newsgroup:

I hope this can be solved.
