Package: ifupdown Version: 0.8.19 Severity: normal Hey,
Upstart is no longer in stretch/unstable, so the integration in it for ifupdown is rather pointless. Probably good to remove. Fwiw, I ran into this due to one of my ARM boards not booting as the upstart integration happened to trigger #861158 during early boot, which in turn triggered #861157 meaning the board didn't fully coldplug... 861158 should be fixed in the next upload of systemd for stretch making the potential impact be a lot smaller, but it's still a good amount of shell code that's run pointlessly on early boot. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf, arm64 Kernel: Linux 4.10.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii init-system-helpers 1.47 ii iproute2 4.9.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 Versions of packages ifupdown recommends: ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp-client] 4.3.5-3 Versions of packages ifupdown suggests: ii ppp 2.4.7-1+4 pn rdnssd <none>
