Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.6 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
The /etc/init.d/ifupdown script relies on basename and dirname being available on bootup. This is however not the case if /usr is NFS mounted, as basename and dirname both are in /usr/bin. As NFS mounts obviously require network interfaces to be up, /etc/init.d/ifupdown start loops because neither basename nor dirname can be found. Thus the whole system is unusable. A (temporary ?) fix for this situation is to copy /usr/bin/basename and /usr/bin/dirname to /bin. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.47 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii net-tools 1.60-10 The NET-3 networking toolkit -- debconf information: ifupdown/convert-interfaces: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
