Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7~rc3
Severity: serious
The new ifupdown package does not recognize comments in middle of lines in
/etc/network/interfaces anymore. For example, I have the following on one
of our hosts:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.177.7
netmask 255.255.255.192 # /26, 0..63
gateway 192.168.177.5
And now, ifup -v eth0 gives the following:
ip addr add 192.168.177.7/255.255.255.192 # /26, 0..63 broadcast +
dev eth0 label eth0
Not enough information: "dev" argument is required.
Which results in no network.
This setup has been working for many years and such comments are used
heavily here, describing many options, and now it does not work anymore.
So I've choosen severity "serious", I think it should be fixed before
wheezy (preferrable), or, failing that, some automatic conversion/upgrade
procedure must be run to make network/interfaces compatible with the new
way of things.
Thanks,
/mjt

This has NEVER worked.
Lines starting with `#' are ignored. Note that end-of-line
comments are NOT supported, comments must be on a line of their
own.
