Package: ifupdown Version: 0.8.16 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I edited /etc/networking/interfaces.d/wlan0 on my system using jo to change the configuration. When saving, many editors, including joe, leave backups that end with a tilde '~'. When I run $ ifup wlan0 or when the system tries to bring up the interface at boot, the system loads the backup created by the editor in addition to the current version, and as a result, gets confused. (I believe it tries to set the route twice.) This, of course, results in the network not working, and the reason is not obvious, leading to wasted time trying to fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii init-system-helpers 1.45 ii iproute2 4.6.0-4 ii libc6 2.24-3 ii lsb-base 9.20160629 Versions of packages ifupdown recommends: ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp-client] 4.3.5~b1-1 Versions of packages ifupdown suggests: pn ppp <none> pn rdnssd <none> -- no debconf information
