vpnc appears to be broken

[yoshi314]

after installing vpnc i wanted to convert my cisco keyfile, just to try it out.

but what i get is :

Code: [Select]

root@box:/home/tc# pcf2vpnc
/bin/sh: pcf2vpnc: not found

root@box:/home/tc# which pcf2vpnc
/usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc

root@box:/home/tc# /usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc
/bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc: not found

root@box:/home/tc# ls -l /usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 39 Jan 28 18:31 /usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc -> /tmp/tcloop/vpnc/usr/localbin/pcf2vpnc

/tmp/tcloop/vpnc/usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc
/bin/sh: /tmp/tcloop/vpnc/usr/local/bin/pcf2vpnc: not found
what's that supposed to mean?

Maybe the interpreter isn't found?

edit: confirmed, it's a perl script. Added perl to deps.

great, i'll test this in a few minutes.

it seems to work. i consider it fixed :]

Intentionally I didn't add (the "big") perl extension to the deps because it's more (if at all) a soft dep... you can always create the needed .conf from a cisco .pcf without using the perl script by hand (it's ascii stuff), you just need to decrypt the group password, which you can do by googling for a web version of the script and tiny vpnc itself doesn't need perl at all...

Maybe this can be turned into a real clean soft dep if tc has got the feature some day

A mention in the info file is what we've used for stuff like this..

[gutmensch]

sorry, just forgot it back then... will update and clean up the extension anyway... there are a few misspelled things too

[gutmensch]

update done, added description to info file as well.
