Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.8
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Whenever the interface has multiple aliases, ex.
inet 10.102.160.2/24 brd 10.102.160.255 scope global eth0
inet 10.102.160.1/24 brd 10.102.160.255 scope global secondary eth0:1
.... and you want to take the alias down while keeping the primary IP running
by issuing:
# ifdown -v eth0:1
.... ifdown will try to run "ip link del eth0:1" which yields an error in case
eth0 is a physical interface or takes the whole interface down if it is bonding
or vlan tagged interface.
The previous version of ifupdown 0.6.10, found in squeeze, would run "ifconfig
eth0:1 down" instead. That works fine with aliases in all the situations above.
The difference is found in the sources in file "ifupdown.nw" lines 5969-5976.
Should you go back to using ifconfig, or maybe fix the issue some other way?
Thank you,
Anthony
