Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal


I installed some other package that required a new initscripts.  Afterwards my 
NFS
filesystems stopped getting mounted at boot.

It turns out that /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs looks in 
/etc/network/run/ifstate, and
if the interface is not up yet [I have only lo and eth0] it stops.  With my old 
version
of ifupdown (0.6.7 I think) it seems that eth0=eth0 was not being appended to 
ifstate
until after montnfs had checked for it.  [Verified with strace -f].  Having 
upgraded to
the current version of ifupdown (0.6.8+nmu1) the problem has gone away.

The ifupdown changelog for version 0.6.8 mentions something about rewriting the 
way that
the state file is handled, and I guess that this is the key difference.

I suggest that initscripts should depend on ifupdown >= version 0.6.8.


Regards,  Phil.
