Package: ifupdown-extra Version: 0.33+nmu1 In testing out an installation of ifupdown-extra, I noticed the following trio of messages in syslog:
Feb 9 22:12:21 image-debian64 ifup[526]: ERROR: Interface --all does not seem to be present in the system Feb 9 22:12:21 image-debian64 ifup[533]: Device "--all" does not exist. Feb 9 22:12:21 image-debian64 ifup[531]: WARNING: Cannot check for duplicate IP address in the network as the script could not find the ip address of --all. You can disable this test by setting DO_ARPING to 'no' in /etc/default/network-test . The first and third messages appear to come from the 00check-network-cable and 10check-duplicate-ip scripts, respectively. Note that IFACE="--all" is a valid invocation of the if-*.d scripts, per bug #826000. --Daniel -- Daniel Richard G. || sk...@iskunk.org My ASCII-art .sig got a bad case of Times New Roman.
