This bug was fixed in the package ifupdown - 0.7~beta2ubuntu1 --------------- ifupdown (0.7~beta2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes (LP: #905660, LP: #850566, LP: #611877, LP: #678425): - ifupdown.nw: Use 100 as default route metric unless an explicit metric parameter is set in /etc/network/interface. - Add iniparser3.0b sources (dictionary.c, dictionary.h, iniparser.c, iniparser.h), to let ifupdown avoid auto-up/down of interfaces if network-manager's ifupdown plugin is in managed=true mode. - Add a new query interface, 'ifquery', that can be used by upstart hooks to ask for the list of possible interfaces that they might need to bring up. - debian/ifupdown.network-interface.upstart: Replace the init scripts with a per-interface Upstart job. - debian/ifupdown.networking.upstart: Add a "networking" job that partially replaces the networking init script from netbase. - debian/control: Bump build-dependency on debhelper for Upstart-aware dh_installinit. - debian/rules: Due to debhelper always adding /etc/init.d symlinks, we must manually remove /etc/init.d/networking for as long as netbase still provides it. - Add if-up and if-down scripts to emit Upstart events when interfaces come up and go down. - debian/ifupdown.network-interface-security.upstart: Ensure apport is started before interfaces are brought up by either ifupdown or network-manager. - debian/postinst: If the loopback interface is missing from the config in /etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade. - debian/ifupdown.preinst: Since files in /etc were not conffiles in lucid, and /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart and /etc/init/network-interface.conf changed between lucid final and maverick, add extra handling to avoid spurious conffile prompts. - invoke dhclient3 with '-1', meaning it should exit failure if it does not receive a response in 60 seconds. (LP: #838968) - contrib/ifstate-check: Use /run/ntework/ifstate instead of /etc/network/run/ifstate - ifup.8: Update man page to indicate that Ubuntu uses /run and that it's always writable as it's a temporary filesystem * ifupdown.nw: When calling dhclient3, also use /var/lib/dhcp as dhclient3 is now a symlink to dhclient and /var/lib/dhcp3 no longer exists. (LP: #900234) * Mark ifupdown as Multi-Arch foreign * Replace remaining references to /var/run/network by /run/network (LP: #885506) ifupdown (0.7~beta2) experimental; urgency=low * Put interfaces down in the reverse order than they were brought up (Closes: #477650). * Fix postinst issues with loopback interface naming (Closes: #572396, #545250). * Remove old .dpkg-old symlink (Closes: #639612). * Document some details on processing /etc/network/if-*.d directories. * Terminate ifup if it's still running when doing ifdown. * Finally migrate to /run/network. * Use FHS names for wvdial pid files (Closes: #255222). * Stop on run-parts failure (Closes: #547587). * Execute scripts before interface options on *-down (Closes: #346459). * Display missing variable name in the error message; make it also a bit less obscure (Closes: #502630). * Fix wvdial options description (Closes: #534181). * Specify interface label (Closes: #645813). * Add address scope option for static IPv4 and IPv6 setups. * Use FreeBSD version of route, thanks to Robert Millan (Closes: #646291). ifupdown (0.7~beta1) experimental; urgency=low * Update the examples (Closes: #630551). * Remove Default-Stop from the LSB headers (Closes: #630506). * Add IPv4LL method (Closes: #204641). * Add initial DHCPv6 support. * Suggest isc-dhcp-client instead of dhcp3-client (Closes: #631414). * Support per-architecture build-time rule definitions. * Add a syntax (%iface/a/b%) to perform character replacement over variable values. * Accept VLAN interface names (Closes: #632902). * Update test cases. * Correct the spelling of the maintainer's last name. * Add partial kFreeBSD support (Closes: #630512). * Drop 'ifupdown-clean' init script (not needed any more with /run). -- Stephane Graber
