--- Begin Message ---Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7.50 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, please consider returning exit status 1 when the up command of an interface fails. Since the interface is not marked as configured, network-manager will think there is no connectivity and programs interacting with NM won't work (for example pidgin). My situation was that I wanted to turn on jumbo frames for my network bridge, and I mistakenly added the up commands in the wrong order: up ifconfig br0 mtu 9000 up ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000 Now on the next reboot network-manager thought I was offline. The reason for that was a little difficult to debug because systemd thought everything was just fine: no error was reported from /etc/init.d/networking. Since my computer boots up too fast to watch the initialization messages, I didn't notice the error there either. And I did not suspect ifup as the culprit because I did have a working network access. Yes, the man page mentions that this is expected behavior. But given that it is difficult to debug, and there is real breakage when network-manager is used, I think that it would be preferable to actually return an error.
