Package: ifupdown
Severity: serious
Tag: patch

Hi,

if dependency based booting is enabled, then S02mountdevsubfs.sh is started *after* S08ifupdown, which means that /etc/network/run -> /dev/shm/network that gets created with S08ifupdown is effectively removed again.

this in turn makes ifupdown fail as it cannot write to /etc/network/run/ifstate (which would reside in /dev/shm/network/ifstate).

as a concequence, there is no network at all, which is a serious bug.

i can reproduce this problem with all bootstrapped chroots using different virtualization technologies (e.g. lxc or kvm), but it's not related to the virtualization.

the solution is to have S02mountdevsubfs.sh being started *before* S08ifupdown, by making it depend on mountdevsubfs. a patch will follow once i've got the bug number.

Regards,
Daniel
