Package: netbase Version: 5.0 Severity: critical Multiple Debian sid operating systems (amd64 and i386): Could not connect to them over the network after dist-upgrade and reboot. Isolated cause to netbase 5.0 (which also removes ifupdown).
Workaround if physical access is available to affected servers: 1. obtain ifupdown 0.7~alpha5+really0.6.16 and netbase 4.47 packages for your architecture. Copy *.deb packages to USB key. 2. Mount USB key in affected servers and copy the *.deb packages to /var/cache/apt/archives/ 3. apt-get install ifupdown netbase/testing 4. Verify /etc/init.d/networking restart brings up the network interface before rebooting. 5. Extra precaution: echo "netbase hold" | dpkg --set-selections to ensure netbase is not upgraded again until this is sorted out. This message is a quick warning for others. I understand I have not provided enough information about my systems for debugging purposes. I just want to limit the number of people potentially affected by this issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
