[Bug 877891] Re: Racoon fails to load the crypto modules

[Adam Gandelman]

** Description changed:

  Racoon fails to load the crypto modules and therefore fails.
  This is dues to the racoon-tool improperly checking the version number:
  It uses the following code to work out the module extensions, but will get the wrong (old) extension on 3.0.x Kernels.
  (As in Oneiric 1:0.8.0-3ubuntu1)
  
  $modext = ( $kver =~ /^2\.6\./ ? ".ko" : ".o" );
+ 
+ SRU Justification:
+ 
+ ======
+ IMPACT:
+  * racoon fails to load necessary modules on oneiric if installation uses racoon-tool administrative front-end to manage configuration.  This is optional (debconf question at racoon pkg installation).  If racoon-tool is chosen over directly editing config, /etc/init.d/racoon init script makes use of racoon-tool which does is broken on oneiric due to a bug in kernel version detection in racoon-tool.pl
+ 
+ ADDRESSED:
+  * racoon-tool.pl is maintained in Debian and has since been fixed to properly parse 3.x kernel versions as wel as 2.6.x.  It has been fixed in the latest Ubuntu development version since ipsec-tools 1:0.8.0-9ubuntu1.
+ 
+ REPRODUCE:
+  * apt-get -y install racoon.  Choose 'racoon-tool' at the first debconf question.  '/etc/init.d/racoon start' reports dozens of errors similar to: FATAL: Module seed. not found.
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
+  * Minimal.  oneiric is the only affected release as its the only Ubuntu release running a 3.x kernel with an affected ipsec-tools package.
