Package: wpasupplicant Followup-For: Bug #882716
Hi again Andrew, Seems the patched version is fine too. I installed the patched version over the existing 2:2.6-5 version (without removing/purging the existing version), using dpkg as follows: root@hpsiddie:/home/manul# wget https://people.debian.org/~andrewsh/UNRELEASED/wpasupplicant_2.6-7+no+matching_amd64.deb root@hpsiddie:/home/manul# dpkg -i wpasupplicant_2.6-7+no+matching_amd64.deb Hopefully I did it properly (upon installing it mentioned installing functions.sh script). So currently: root@hpsiddie:/home/manul# apt-cache policy wpasupplicant wpasupplicant: Installed: 2:2.6-7+no+matching Candidate: 2:2.6-7+no+matching Version table: *** 2:2.6-7+no+matching 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:2.6-7 500 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages The new patched version 2:2.6-7+no+matching works properly for me (fallback to "iface default inet dhcp" as it should).
