Package: openvswitch-switch
Version: 2.10.0+2018.08.28+git.8ca7c82b7d+ds1-10
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Just configured openvswitch 2.10 on a newly-upgraded Buster machine
(fresh install with Stretch/9.6, immediately dist-upgraded to Buster).
When raising the interfaces via ifup, configuration of OpenVSwitch-enabled
interfaces would always failed.
* Command run: # ifup xenbr0
* Outcome: xenbr0 not configured (error)
* Expected outcome: xenbr0 + eno1 enabled and configured
Part of the problem lies in the fact that the supplied ifupdown
integration scripts are outdated: they call 'ifconfig' rather than the
correct "ip link set up" invocation. Trivial patch attached.
Probably unrelated, configuration will still fail... but that's another
matter
