I went through the netcfg process of the installer. DHCP failed to obtain a connection, since it's pppoe, and I wound up punching in 192.168.0.1 (or was it 127.0.0.1? I can't recall) and other dummy static information just to pass through the prompts. I then rebooted, and noticed that the /etc/network/interfaces file contained only: # Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. ...but nothing more. That there was nothing present about my fake static connection I couldn't care less about, but the lack of an entry for the loopback interface is serious. Presumably "lo" isn't missing for everybody, or this would have been fixed ages ago, so I guess it must be a problem specific to how I handled the installer.

It somehow didn't happen in the internal dhclient-script context, but appeared during testing in the shell. - Add Thomas Hood to Uploaders. - Re-enable broadcast stuff in dhclient-script, fixing a Sparc (at least) regression. - Remove kill_dhcp_client prototype from netcfg.h because it's now static. - Change newline + a space to just a newline to end some disable_dhcp woes. - Warn if there's no default route available after getting a DHCP lease. (Closes: #253543) - Don't add 'auto' or hotplug mapping lines for 16-bit PCMCIA devices. (Closes: #248071, #239284) - Add a missing fclose in iface_is_hotpluggable. * Christian Perrier - netcfg-dhcp.templates Some rewrite for being clearer, possibly. Run debconf-updatepo * Thomas Hood - Change interfaces options that use underscore to hyphens. No loss of functionality. (Closes: #255185) - *.c: + Test for NULL pointers before using empty_str() - netcfg.c, netcfg-dhcp.c, netcfg-static.c + Handle the case where there are no interfaces. Just ask for a hostname and write basic /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts files. (Closes: #243543) - netcfg-common.c: + netcfg_get_interface(): Don't exit if there are no interfaces. Instead just return with variables set to 0. + netcfg_write_common(): write basic /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts files even if the ipaddress is 0. - static.c: + Add resolvconf support (Closes: #255187) + Add comments to /e/n/i about which packages implement which options - dhcp.c + Add comments to /e/n/i about which packages implement which options + Fix race to dhcp_exit_status after dhcp_running set to 0. + Count iterations in the polling loop instead of checking the time() + Use waitpid(dhcp_pid,,) instead of wait() to get child status since we don't want the status of, e.g., killall.sh + Eliminate use of dhcp_running and use (dhcp_pid>0) in its place + Eliminate some unnecessary calls to kill_dhcp_client() + Mark local variables with "static" + Eliminate use of quit_after_hostname by creating HOSTNAME_SANS_NETWORK from HOSTNAME and DOMAIN_SANS_NETWORK from DOMAIN + Use DHCP hostname as the default hostname if no hostname is set (Closes: #239591) + Write hostname provided to the DHCP client in order to get a lease on the "hostname" option line for the interface in /e/n/i + If the user backs up from netcfg/get_hostname, go to retry question + Wait at least two seconds for DHCP client to exit (Closes: #255984) + Clean up code . Always use spaces for indentation . Improve comments . Reorder state machine states .
