Package: hw-detect Version: 1.27 Severity: important The file /etc/network/devnames.gz is created at build time as a gzipped file. However, at runtime, the file is accessed in several places as if it is a regular (uncompressed file).
In script ethdetect.sh there is one function where the gzipped file is
handled correctly, but in other places the uncompressed file is assumed.
