** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: upstart
-
- Since last upstart update, rc-sysinit.conf is not any more starting the
init-scripts (i.e. grub-common, which shold reset the recordfail).
+ Since last upstart update, rc-sysinit.conf is not any more starting the
init-scripts (i.e. grub-common, which shold reset the recordfail).
upstart Version 0.6.3-11 (0.6.3-10 was working fine).
The only change in rc-sysinit.conf is to wait for "net-device-up IFACE=lo",
which means this event never comes!

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
Date: Wed Dec 16 08:16:54 2009
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10
Package: upstart 0.6.3-11
ProcEnviron:
LANGUAGE=de_CH.UTF-8
LANG=de_CH.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/bash
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-generic
SourcePackage: upstart
Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic i686
+
+ SRU JUSTIFICATION:
+ The fix for bug #461725, a race condition that caused the rc2 runlevel
scripts to sometimes be executed before the lo interface is up, has introduced
a post-release regression on systems without a proper lo definition in
/etc/network/interfaces, whereby the system will not enter runlevel 2 at all.
The ifupdown package would previously detect and warn about this case on
upgrade, but not correct it. We should unconditionally correct this on
upgrade; even if the lo interface will fail to configure because of quirks of
the system (e.g., vserver), this isn't a reason not to define it in /e/n/i.
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. install upstart 0.6.3-11 and ifupdown 0.6.8ubuntu21 from karmic.
+ 2. confirm that these lines are present in /etc/network/interfaces, and add
them if not:
+ auto lo
+ iface lo inet loopback
+ 3. reboot and confirm that 'runlevel' reports 'N 2'
+ 4. install ifupdown 0.6.8ubuntu21.1 from karmic-proposed
+ 5. confirm that /etc/network/interfaces has not been changed (timestamp,
contents)
+ 6. reboot and confirm that 'runlevel' still reports 'N 2'
+ 7. edit /etc/network/interfaces to remove the lines mentioned in step 2
+ 8. reboot and confirm that 'runlevel' does *not* report 'N 2' (I believe it
will report 'unknown'?)
+ 9. reinstall ifupdown from karmic-proposed ('sudo apt-get install --reinstall
ifupdown')
+ 10. confirm that the lines from step 2 have been re-added to
/etc/network/interfaces
+ 11. reboot and confirm that 'runlevel' again reports 'N 2'
