Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7.8 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
ifconfig -> shows eth0 up and configured ifconfig eth0 down -> takes eth0 down ifup --force eth0 RTNETLINK answers: File exists -> eth0 is still down But wit "--force" eth0 should be up after that. This also effects in some way the xen package. Script "/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge" does not work anymore. The script does something like this (short form) # create temp brige brctl addbr tempbr0 brctl stp tempbr0 off brctl setfd tempbr0 0 # add ip to temp bridge ip addr add 192.168.1.200/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dev tempbr0 label tempbr0 # take eth0 down ifdown eth0 # rename eth0 to peth0 ip link set eth0 name peth0 # rename temp bridge to eth0 ip link set tempbr0 name eth0 take down peth0 ip link set peth0 down ip addr flush peth0 # take up peth0 ip link set peth0 up # add bridge to peth0 brctl addif eth0 peth0 ip link set peth0 up # take up eth0 (bridge device) ifup eth0 RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up eth0 Workarround: ifdown --force eth0 ifup eth0 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41 ii iproute 20120521-3+b3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 ifupdown recommends no packages.
