shows confusing warning: "Network interface NamePolicy= disabled on kernel command line, ignoring"

[Bruce Pieterse]

As the title says. This is currently showing on installed and daily images of Vivid (seen in Ubuntu GNOME daily images).

I apologise if this was reported against the wrong package, it was best guess.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 218-6ubuntu1

---------------
systemd (218-6ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - Hack to support system-image read-only /etc, and modify files in
      /etc/writable/ instead.
    - Keep our much simpler udev maintainer scripts (all platforms must
      support udev, no debconf).
    - initramfs init-top: Drop $ROOTDELAY, we do that in a more sensible way
      with wait-for-root. Will get applicable to Debian once Debian gets
      wait-for-root in initramfs-tools.
    - initramfs init-bottom: If LVM is installed, settle udev,
      otherwise we get missing LV symlinks. Workaround for LP #1185394.
    - Add debian/udev.lvm2.init: Dummy SysV init script to satisfy insserv
      dependencies to "lvm2" which is handled with udev rules in Ubuntu.
    - Provide shutdown fallback for upstart. (LP: #1370329)
    - debian/extra/ifup@.service: Additionally run for "auto" class. We don't
      really support "allow-hotplug" in Ubuntu at the moment, so we need to
      deal with "auto" devices appearing after "/etc/init.d/networking start"
      already ran. (LP: #1374521)
    - Add Get-RTC-is-in-local-time-setting-from-etc-default-rc.patch: In
      Ubuntu we currently keep the setting whether the RTC is in local or UTC
      time in /etc/default/rcS "UTC=yes|no", instead of /etc/adjtime.
      (LP: #1377258)
    - Put session scopes into all cgroup controllers. This makes unprivileged
      user LXC containers work under systemd. (LP: #1346734)
    - Lower Breaks: to plymouth version which has the udev inotify fix in
      Ubuntu.
    - Lower libappamor1 dep to the Ubuntu version where it moved to /lib.
    - Make failure of boot-and-services NSpawn.test_boot non-fatal for now.
      This currently fails when being triggered by Jenkins, but is totally
      unreproducible when running this manually on the exact same machine.

    Upgrade fixes, keep until 16.04 LTS release:
    - systemd Conflicts/Replaces/Provides systemd-services.
    - Remove obsolete systemd-logind upstart job.
    - Clean up obsolete /etc/udev/rules.d/README.

  * Make the "systemd" controller session scope cgroup directory owned by the
    user as well. This fixes user containers with latest LXC, and with systemd
    in the container. (LP: #1413927)
  * ifup@.service: Drop dependency on networking.service (i. e.
    /etc/init.d/networking), and merely ensure that /run/network exists. This
    avoids unnecessary dependencies/waiting during boot and dependency cycles
    if hooks wait for other interfaces to come up (like ifenslave with bonding
    interfaces). (LP: #1414544)

systemd (218-6) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * initramfs hook: Install 61-persistant-storage-android.rules if it exists.
  * Generate POT file during package build, for translators.
  * Pull latest keymaps from upstream git.
  * Order ifup@.service and networking.service after network-pre.target.
    (Closes: #766938)
  * Tone down "Network interface NamePolicy= disabled on kernel commandline,
    ignoring" info message to debug, as we expect this while we disable
    net.ifnames by de...
