Hello
I (upstream developer) noticed your patch some time ago, but i thought
that the issue was already fixed in usptream between 1.3.6 and 1.3.7
(in commit 732a0a257d180a95a02587203555b8552b6128ac).
See following code in nl_parse_link() in sysdep/linux/netlink.c :
ifi = if_find_by_index(i->ifi_index);
if (!new)
{
...
if_delete(ifi);
}
else
{
if (ifi && strncmp(ifi->name, name, sizeof(ifi->name)-1))
if_delete(ifi);
// ^^^^ This should fix your case ^^^^
strncpy(f.name, name, sizeof(f.name)-1);
f.index = i->ifi_index;
f.mtu = mtu;
...
if_update(&f);
}
I tested interface renaming in current upstream (1.3.10 prerelease) and
it worked OK. As BIRD in Wheezy is in version 1.3.7 (which should
contain fix from the commit mentioned above) i would expect it is OK too.
Do you experience the problem even with unpatched Wheezy package?
