Hmm, good catch. though on Ubuntu they're always both installed so it's not a big deal.
I'm marking the bug won't fix, not because it wasn't an issue but because as of 12.10, netbase won't be providing the /etc/init.d/networking init script anymore, so there won't actually be any reason for netbase to depend on ifupdown. ** Changed in: netbase (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515543 Title: netbase depends on ifupdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbase/+bug/515543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
