Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-vm-builder
I'm using 0.4-0ubuntu0.3 and running ubuntu-vm-builder with "--ip" to
set the IP address.
On the resulting VM, network fails to start at boot with the following error :
/etc/network/interfaces:18: option with empty value
ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
Analysis :
If you don't specify --domain, $DOMAIN is defaulted to `hostname -d`, which may
return (on systems without a domain name set) an empty string.
$DOMAIN is then used on non-DHCP setup to fill a value in the interfaces files :
cat >> root/etc/network/interfaces <<EOF
iface eth0 inet static
address $IP
netmask $MASK
network $NET
broadcast $BCAST
gateway $GW
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers $DNS
dns-search $DOMAIN
EOF
The resulting interfaces file has a "dns-search" option without a value,
that makes ifup reject the file.
Attached, a simple patch that just sets a default value ("localdomain") if
$DOMAIN is still empty after $DOMAIN=`hostname -d`.
If you would prefer a proper debdiff just let me know.
