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.
