I had a similar problem rencently and the cause was one other. For some
strange reason, the net-tools package had changed something in ipcalc
that made the init scripts not being able to configure interface 'lo'.
It was corrected, so grab the LATEST net-tools and initscripts.
Mine are:
initscripts-5.60-1mdk
net-tools-1.58-3mdk
