Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I installed Debian Wheezy 64-bit s390x in Hercules emulator according to
these instructions:
http://www.josefsipek.net/docs/s390-linux/hercules-s390.html
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I followed the instructions (with tunnel IP addresses 192.168.144.1 and
192.168.144.2)
When asked for a domain name, I entered nothing - just . (to forward a
line to Linux) and enter
* What was the outcome of this action?
The installation went fine (network was properly working and it was
possible to download and install all packages from the network).
However, the installer wrote invalid /etc/network/interfaces on the
target system.
The file has "dns-search " line. Because the keywork "dns-search"
doesn't have any parameter, the networking script considers the file
syntax invalid, refuses to process the file and networking doesn't work
at all in newly booted system.
The file lacks a "gateway" option, although gateway was entered during
installation.
The installer created this /etc/networking/interfaces file:
---
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto ctc0
iface ctc0 inet static
address 192.168.144.2
netmask 255.255.255.255
network 0.0.0.0
broadcast 255.255.255.255
pointopoint 192.168.144.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 192.168.128.1
dns-search
---
When I removed "dns-serach " from /etc/network/interfaces and added
"gateway 192.168.144.1", networking works fine in the installed system.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
/etc/network/interfaces should be correct. There shouldn't be
"dns-serach " line and there should be "gateway 192.168.144.1" line.
*** End of the template - remove these lines ***

Hi,
thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.
I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to
close wishlist bugs.)
If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.
cheers,
Holger
