Bug Description

Hi,

I have a

source interfaces.d/vlan0

in my /etc/network/interfaces, and in that vlan0 file

auto vlan0
iface vlan0 inet static
      bridge_ports none
      bridge_fd 0
      bridge_stp off
      address 192.168.200.1
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      up iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT -i $IFACE
      up iptables -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i $IFACE
      up iptables -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT -o $IFACE
      up dnsmasq --pid-file=/var/run/dnsmasq.$IFACE.pid --except-interface=lo --interface=$IFACE --bind-interfaces --dhcp-range=192.168.200.100,192.168.200.250 --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,192.168.200.1 --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot
      down kill `cat /var/run/dnsmasq.$IFACE.pid`

Seems to be straightforward , and works correctly if I call ifup vlan0 from the command line.

However, the bridge interface is not created within the boot process. I have to call it manually every time.

Seems to be related to #1535648 ifquery/ifup crashing, which happens even without the usb device mentioned there and might be the reason, i.e. crash when trying to create this interface.
