Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.46.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
During the boot the following lines are output to the console
chown: invalid group: 'root:netdev'
[warn] can't chown /run/network ... (warning)
I've looked at what generates this and think the lines are generated by
the function check_ifstate() in file etc/init.d/networking from package
ifupdown.
My computer's /etc/group does not have the group 'netdev'. It has the groups
from /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master plus the following
libuuid:x:101:
crontab:x:102:
Debian-exim:x:103:
ssh:x:104:
messagebus:x:105:
utempter:x:106:
i2c:x:107:
mlocate:x:108:
I've tried re-installing package ifupdown and package iproute2 it depends on
to see if either of these packages added group 'netdev' to /etc/group.
Neither does but I think that as ifupdown tries to use group 'netdev' then
ifdown should add it.
