So when you try switching from NetworkManager to ifup in yast it will ask you to install smpppd otherwise there might be problems. Switching to ifup method might be a good idea if NetworkManager doesn't behave as expected. The problem is that when you have problems with NM chances are high you're internet connection might not be working, so making the transition from NM to ifup as easy as possible would be great. coolo doesn't want to add the smpppd to the standard installation pattern. Any other way of fixing this ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. basic installation w/o extra package selection 2. switch from NM to ifup 3. yast will complain about missing smpppd -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
