Bug#382429: samba: problem detecting network interfaces
The problem is that the configure code that determines the method for getting the list of network interfaces mysteriously fails on the amd64 buildd. Usual output: checking for iface AIX... no checking for iface ifconf... got 2 interfaces: eth0 IP=129.206.69.122 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 lo IP=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 yes amd64 buildd output: checking for iface AIX... no checking for iface ifconf... got 0 interfaces: no checking for iface ifreq... got -1 interfaces: no The code in question hasn't changed between 3.0.22 and 3.0.23b, none of the other platforms are affected, and a local rebuild on an amd64/etch box doesn't exhibit the problem either. So it looks like something in the configuration of the amd64 buildd has changed for the worse, or the problem is constrained to unstable at the moment. If some more people with amd64 machines could try to rebuild locally, it might help eliminate some doubt. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

This may be a symptom of that. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

It's possible to reproduce the problem locally if you shut down all your interfaces (/sbin/ifconfig shows nothing) before building. This is clearly a bug in the upstream configury. A local config.cache override might be in order. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is clearly a bug in the upstream configury. A local config.cache override might be in order. I agree. Suggestions as to how we can detect that we can detect interfaces, but that there are none, might be acceptable. That said, a system that can't even report that the loopback device exists is a pretty poor system...

AIUI, under vserver you don't even have a loopback device :/ -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
