With this workaround, I retry my tests with PPPoE connection.
Then my PPPoE connection is up correctly (I can wget web files
on busybox) even I have the red screen [!!] Configure and start a
PPPoE connection, "Installation step failed": "An installation
step failed. [...] The failing step is: multiselect backup
progresscancel plugin-entropy-text." after entering PPP password.
Hmm, you are saying that you get this error even if you move the
pppoe.so plugin in the proper place?
That error is the classical case of debconf polution, so I suspect
some unexpected output from either of the commands in the postinst
script.
May I suggest doing the move from console 2 before entering the PPP
username. Please tell me if the error message still appears.
Maybe is time to compare the patch I sent in BTS with the one that
ended up in the official package.
When I select 'continue', I return on 'Configure the network'
entry but my network connection is now ready. I will try to
retry/investiguate tomorrow.
So the PPPoE connection is actually up?
Note that (almost?) always in my tests the concentrator was not found
from the first attempt after a fresh boot, but the search did succeed
in later probes. Have you ever encountered this problem? (I was never
sure if this was a provider issue or a coding issue and I would be
glad to sort it out.)
Thanks for testing this.
