Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.10
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/ifdown
Excuse me for my bad English :-)
I have enabled ethernet interface:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 1c:6f:65:d9:a8:55
inet addr:192.168.0.100 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I want to disable it temporary.
I try ifupdown, but it can't disable interface:
# ifdown eth0
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
It is strange error message. But I can say that if eth0 works then it is
configured, so ifdown's message is lie.
Please change message to more informative.
I can guess 2 possible sources of problem.
First is: on system boot udev renames my eth0 to eth2,
so I use nameif program as workaround this bug. It is possible that
this workaround is problem for ifdown.
Second is: I use dhcpcd client, not dhclient.
