It appears we have enabled a config that should have been off by default for debian ifupdown scripts. Please set the attribute addon_syntax_check=0 in ifupdown2.conf to disable syntax checking.
/etc/network/ifupdown2/ifupdown2.conf # enable addon module syntax check: # Python addon modules register dictionary of supported attributes. # The syntax checker in ifupdown2 uses this dictionary for syntax # checks in the interfaces file. This works well, when only python modules # are used. But when a mix of scripts and modules are used (which is the # default case), you may get false warnings for attributes supported # by scripts addon_syntax_check=1 we will submit a fix to set it to 0 by default 'addon_syntax_check=0' so that it does not break existing deployments or files. Thanks for the report. And please let us know if you continue seeing problems with addon_syntax_check=0 On 11/7/16, 4:47 PM, Julien Fortin wrote: > Hello Jacek, > > Thanks for reporting this issue, I will look into it this week and get back > to you accordingly. > > Regards, > Julien. > > On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 8:34 PM, Jacek Politowski <j...@jp.pl.eu.org> wrote: > >> Package: ifupdown2 >> Version: 1.0~git20161101-1 >> Severity: important >> >> Dear Maintainer, >> >> after recent upgrade (ifupdown2:amd64 1.0~git20160525-1 -> >> 1.0~git20161101-1) >> my WLAN network interface stopped working.
