Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.4-4.4
Severity: normal

When you use ifdown or ifup in the 'down' or 'up' stanzas of the interfaces 
file,
you can cause what seems like a deadlock.

I was trying to do this:

iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.0.22
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.0.0
  broadcast 192.168.0.255
  up /sbin/ifup eth0:0
  down /sbin/ifdown eth0:0

so that bringing up eth0 would also bring up eth0:0. Doing it this way causes
ifup (or ifdown) to hang. Using ifconfig instead makes everything work.
