Public bug reported:
0.7.44ubuntu3 on Saucy 13.10 amd64.
On a multi-homed server with five ethernet interfaces we have 6
'interfaces' files in '/etc/network/interfaces.d/' for 'lo' and 'eth0'
through 'eth4'.
ifup -a fails to include the contents of these files and consequently
the interfaces are ignored.
"strace" reveals that when scanning the 'interfaces.d' directory ifupdown is
using the "openat()" function which does an integral change-directory. It gets
the list of files correctly and "closes()" the directory. It then does "open()"
on each validly named file but gets -ENOENT result because it forgets to
prefix the file-name with the 'interfaces.d/' directory - so it is looking in
'/etc/network/' rather than '/etc/network/interfaces.d/'.
** Affects: ifupdown (Ubuntu)
Importance: Critical
Status: New
