Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
This version of initscript creates /etc/network/run as a file.
I am currently managing my network interface (desktop PC, uses forcedeth kernel
module)
staticaly (that is, using /etc/network/interfaces) and whatever manages that
expecte to
find the /etc/network/run/ifstate file. (which is a symlink to
/dev/shm/<whatever> - cant
remember).
However, this version of initscripts created /etc/network/run as a file; not as
a directory,
thus breaking my networking setup.
There should either be a conflicts defined in the dependency info with whatever
setup I am
using, or there is some unintended problem with initscripts.
I hav enot tried if this problem will exist if the network is managed by
network-manager.
As such, an inexperienced user will find that he cannot access the network once
*.4 version
is installed. I wa lucky to find teh older version in my /var/cache/apt/archive
directory and
revert. Hence, reporting this as a critical bug. Apologies in advance if this
does not deserve
the critical label.
I will be happy to answer any further questions and / or do any experiments.

The directory and ifstate file are created correctly with the
initscripts now in unstable. If you find that this is not the
case for you, please do reopen the bug. I believe the problem
was due to the /dev/shm symlink being relative (../run/shm)
rather than absolute (/run/shm) which caused problems with the
ifupdown init scripts. We now create an absolute link.
Thanks,
Roger
