reassign 208700 netbase
retitle 208700 netbase: Please add --exclude=lo to /etc/init.d/networking
tags 208700 patch
thanks

Bugs #256680, #208700, #254705 and #273543 all relate to the use of 'ifdown
-a' in /etc/init.d/networking. In order to avoid this issue netbase's
networking script should be changed as shown in the patch attached so that
'lo' is always excluded when running ifdown.

If this patch is applied netbase should Depends: ifupdown ( >=0.6.4-4.9 )

Thanks

Javier
