Hi, Here's what happens on a freshly installed Squeeze system:
nfs:/etc/network# dpkg --status ifenslave-2.6 Package: ifenslave-2.6 Status: unknown ok not-installed Priority: optional Section: net nfs:/etc/network# find -name "ifenslave*" nfs:/etc/network# aptitude install ifenslave-2.6 Reading package lists...

Done nfs:/etc/network# find -name "ifenslave*" ./if-post-down.d/ifenslave ./if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new ./if-pre-up.d/ifenslave As a result, if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new is what should really be if-pre-up.d/ifenslave, if-pre-up.d/ifenslave is the bond-give-a-chance instead. The postinst logic is broken, as /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave is part of the package, thus on a clean install the stock version is moved to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new if the version check is true. This makes the package non-functional after installation, thus the grave severity. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
