A fresh installation of the latest ntop will not try to use eth0 by default, but will listen on no interface.
However if the answer "eth0" is cached by debconf from a previous installation and eth0 is not up or available, the installation of ntop will fail in the postinst. I have fixed this for the next upload to Debian unstable by preventing the init script to exit with an error if the user has specified an interface which is not available. In this way the installation will not fail, even though ntop will not start. It will be however possible to reconfigure ntop with dpkg-reconfigure. Thanks for taking the time to report the problem. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #662212 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662212 ** Also affects: ntop (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662212 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: ntop (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402215 Title: ntop does not install correctly with no 'eth0' device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntop/+bug/402215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
