Bug#673057: ifupdown: /etc/network/run migration leaves unnecessary /etc/network/run.dpkg-old

Coin,

This seems to be related:

Removing /etc/network/run.dpkg-old solves the problem.

It could be a serious bug but as the previous package was an alpha  
one, maybe it's not necessary. Do as you see fit.

Bug#673057: ifupdown: /etc/network/run migration leaves unnecessary /etc/network/run.dpkg-old

[Michal Politowski]

Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7~rc3
Severity: normal

When /etc/network/run starts as a link to /dev/shm/network on upgrade to 
0.7~rc3,
then an unnecessary link from /etc/network/run.dpkg-old to /dev/shm/network
remains after the migration.

Messages:
