Dear maintainer,
While upgrading ifupdown today I got this:
Setting up ifupdown (0.7.41) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ifupdown.postinst: 102:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ifupdown.postinst: Syntax error: "else" unexpected
dpkg: error processing ifupdown (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
ifupdown
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
where code near line 102 is:
if [ -f /etc/network/interfaces ] ; then
# We don't need loopback interface definition anymore as
# ifupdown handles loopback interface on its own from now
else # ! -f /etc/network/interfaces
This patch fixes it:
