Details

netctl's mobile_ppp, and probably pppoe, doesn't correctly kill pppd. This is because pppd's pid file has the format "$pid\n$ifname\n". This patch uses only the first line of the pid file as the argument to kill.

Found in netctl version 1.6

Steps to reproduce:
netctl start $profile
netctl stop $profile

where $profile has a Connection=mobile_ppp

I looked at the pppoe connection as well; it seems to suffer the same bug. I'm attaching a patch for pppoe, however I have no such connection type, and I'm unable to test it.
This task depends upon
