Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I have now installed Debian Wheezy on three systems and have experienced this 
identical problem on all three.  One was a hosted VM, the other two different 
boxes of my own.

After the Debian installer is finished and the machine reboots the network 
comes up.  But then when I alter /etc/network/interfaces to something like:


auto lo                                                                         
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
        address 192.168.0.12
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1


after rebooting NO interfaces come up, including lo.  If I manually run:

ifup lo

it says "link: error fetching interface information: Device not found"

for "ifup eth0" it says:

addr: error feching interface information: Device not found


during boot I can also see the message run by:

link: error fetching interface information: device not found


Also, running "/etc/init.d/networking restart" also fails similarly.


If I run "ifconfig lo up" it brings up lo.

If I run "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 && route add default 
gw 192.168.0.1" eth0 also correctly comes up.


Is it related to any other packages which I install after the first boot?  The 
packages I usually install are:

wireless-tools vim rsync cpufrequtils wpasupplicant pcmciautils 
screen dselect acpid powermgmt-base acpi powertop acpitool deborphan sudo 
anacron pm-utils cron-apt laptop-mode-tools ethtool dphys-swapfile 
intel-microcode iucode-tool kacpimon apt-file build-essential fail2ban

on a minimal system which at the tasksel stage of the install I only select 
"standard system" and nothing else.


I have checked the permissions for /etc, /etc/network, and 
/etc/network/interfaces and all look ok.  /etc/hosts is ok.  /etc/hostname is 
ok.  /etc/resolv.conf is ok.

Closing this bug, since the problem is/was with your
/etc/network/interfaces file which is invalid:

> auto lo                                iface lo inet loopback
> 
> auto eth0
>       address 192.168.0.12
>       netmask 255.255.255.0
>       gateway 192.168.0.1

This should have been:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.12
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1

Note the missing "iface eth0 inet static" line and the newline between
"auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback".
