Package: netbase Version: 4.20 Severity: normal
upgrading from netbase 4.19 to 4.20 causes lo to fail to start when starting my computer. It complains that the interface is already configured. When the computer has started running ifconfig shows no information about lo, but running ifup lo does not work untill I first ifdown lo. I've attached my /etc/network/interfaces file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages netbase depends on: ii debconf 1.4.45 Debian configuration management sy ii ifupdown 0.6.4-4.10 High level tools to configure netw ii iputils-ping [ping] 3:20020927-2 Tools to test the reachability of ii netkit-inetd 0.10-10 The Internet Superserver ii tcpd 7.6.dbs-6 Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilit -- debconf information: netbase/upgrade-note/etc-network-interfaces-pre-3.17-1: netbase/upgrade-note/init.d-split-pre-3.16-1: netbase/upgrade-note/radius-ports-pre-3.05: netbase/upgrade-note/portmap-restart-pre-3.11-2:
