Package: netcfg Version: 1.139 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
netcfg does not ask for a pointopoint address when entering the network config manually, not even in expert mode In expert mode it will show you, after collecting all the information, that is has NOT set a pointopoint address. Please change this setup since this always means that you have to select "No network configuration" and manually write your /etc/network/interface file after the installation of the base system. netcfg should in normal and expert mode always ask for the pointopoint adress and let the users know that it is OK to leave the field emtpy when there is no pointopoint address needed. Many large hosters use setups where you have to set a pointopoint address and not supporting it makes a Debian installation unnecessarily cumbersome. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)
