The package doesn't install for me too (using kernel 2.6.29-2-amd64). Message in syslog : > logger[7334]: dhcp-probe: IP not configured on host, please see > template file /usr/share/doc/dhcp-probe/dhcp_probe.tpl.eth0 to > configure !
A quick look at the postinst script shows that it tries to use too much
magic ...
It tries to search for an interface with an IP configured, and uses many
cuts on ifconfig output to find it. These cuts don't work. :)
> IFCONFIG='/sbin/ifconfig'
> [...]
> interfaces=`$IFCONFIG | grep eth | awk '{ print $1 }';`
> if test -n "$interfaces"
> then
> for i in $interfaces; do
> ether=`$IFCONFIG | grep $i | awk '{ print $5 }';`
> eth_lines=`$IFCONFIG | grep -A 3 $i`
> inet=`echo $eth_lines | cut -f 6 -d ' '`
> if test $inet = 'inet'
> then
> ipv4=`echo $eth_lines | cut -f 7 -d ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ':'`
> ipv4_mask=`echo $eth_lines | cut -f 8 -d ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ':'`
The postinst script should maybe use cleaner ways to get informations
about the network cards :)
