Package: netbase
Version: 4.21
Severity: minor

The following test in the /etc/init.d/networking is ambiguous:

        if ! [ -s /etc/network/ifstate ]; then
            rm /etc/network/ifstate
        fi

A file that does not exist is also not a symbolic link...

client09:~# ls /etc/network/ifstate
ls: /etc/network/ifstate: No such file or directory
client09:~# if ! [ -s /etc/network/ifstate ]; then echo pass; fi
pass

Therefore, the following error occurs in every bootup:

Configuring network interfaces...
rm: cannot remove `/etc/network/ifstate': No such file or directory

Thanks!
Tony
