Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.1
Severity: important
Hello,
sorry for bothering you with this. I removed the ppp package and upgraded to a
new kernel
but otherwise I feel not to have done anything unusual.
$ sudo ifup eth0

Works! I suggest the ifupdown package creates the /run/network directory if not
existing. It would be nice to find out what happened, though.

-- System Information:
The system once was Ubuntu maverick but was transformed to Debian Sid just by
modifying /etc/apt/sources.list quite a while back. This is why it still
reports the vendor's maverick installation.
