Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.48.1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

When you have an 'iface eth0 inet6 static' stanza in
/etc/network/interfaces, ifup tries to set net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf
to 0.

That might sound quite reasonable, but in LXC containers that
will often fail. Please check that sysctl and if it is already set to
0, don't try to set it. - Alternatively: try to set it but if setting it
fails, check if it already is 0, and don't fail in that case - that
won't affect the runtime in the ordinary case.
