$ zgrep 'Try to remove' /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/changelog.gz
- Try to remove old /etc/network/run even if it's a symlink.
$ ls -l /etc/network/run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 20 20:59 /etc/network/run -> /run/network
Can I remove /etc/network/run manually? Just /etc/network/run. Not
/run/network.
My understanding is that the removal attempt is here:
$ grep -A23 Migrate /var/lib/dpkg/info/ifupdown.postinst
# Migrate /etc/network/run to /run/network
if [ "$1" = configure -a "$2" != "" -a -e /etc/network/run -a "$l" !=
"/run/network" ]
then
echo "Migrating network state directory from $l to /run/network..."
[ -d /run/network ] || mkdir /run/network
if [ -e /etc/network/run/ifstate ]
then
echo "Moving /etc/network/run/ifstate to /run/network/ifstate"
if [ ! -L /etc/network/run/ifstate ]; then
mv -f /etc/network/run/ifstate /run/network/ifstate
else
# we do this thing with .dpkg-new just so we don't truncate the
# state file in the case of crazy symlinked or mount-bound setup
cat /etc/network/run/ifstate >/run/network/ifstate.dpkg-new
mv -f /etc/network/run/ifstate /run/network/ifstate.dpkg-old
mv -f /run/network/ifstate.dpkg-new /run/network/ifstate
fi
fi
mv -f /etc/network/run /etc/network/run.dpkg-old || true
ln -s /run/network /etc/network/run
[ -L /etc/network/run.dpkg-old ] && rm -f /etc/network/run.dpkg-old ||
true
[ -d /etc/network/run.dpkg-old ] && rmdir /etc/network/run.dpkg-old
2>/dev/null || report_warn "Not removing the old contents of /etc/network/run:
directory not empty; renamed into /etc/network/run.dpkg-old."
fi
I don't have /etc/network/run.dpkg-old. I understand that the writer
of that code fragment was cautious about various linkage methods. I
tried to follow the logic of the code, but failed. For example,
why is there an explicit
ln -s /run/network /etc/network/run
?
