Package: ifupdown-extra
Version: 0.33+nmu1
In testing out a stock installation of ifupdown-extra, I noticed the
following pair of messages in syslog:
Feb 9 22:06:44 image-debian64 root[493]: WARNING: Initialising interface
enp0s3 which does not have a link
Feb 9 22:06:44 image-debian64 ifup[493]: <27>Feb 9 22:06:44 root[493]:
WARNING: Initialising interface enp0s3 which does not have a link
This is coming from 00check-network-cable, and DO_SYSLOG is untouched
from its default value of "yes". The second message, of course, appears
to be a repackaged duplicate of the first and should not be there.
If I set DO_SYSLOG=no in /etc/default/network-test, then all I see is
Feb 9 22:12:21 image-debian64 ifup[480]: WARNING: Initialising interface
enp0s3 which does not have a link
There is apparently something in the Debian standard logging system that
causes logger(1) messages to be duplicated. Since stdout is going to
syslog anyway, making DO_SYSLOG=no the shipped default seems like a
reasonable solution.
