Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.41
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Networking did not come up after installing 0.7.41, using previously
working configuration. Not even the loopback interface was brought up!
Trying to take up any interface manually gives an obviously bogus
error message:
frtest1:~# ifup eth0
/etc/network/interfaces:5: interface lo declared allow-auto twice
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
This is bogus because:
frtest1:~# grep lo /etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# set up ebtables to allow L3 routing of DHCPv6
Removing the (only instance of) "auto lo" allowed bringing up
interfaces again. But this workaround is in no way acceptable. This
change breaks existing configurations. You cannot do that.
Thanks,
Bjørn
