Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7
Severity: normal
I have just noticed these error messages that appear during the boot
on my system:
Configuring network interfaces...cat: /sys/class/net/tun0/operstate: No such
file or directory
cat: /sys/class/net/tap1/operstate: No such file or directory
This is caused by the test
[ -e "/sys/class/net/$iface" -a "$(cat /sys/class/net/$iface/operstate)" = up ]
This will not work as intended because shell evaluates the command
substitution $(...) before running the test command (the "[" command).
Instead, this should be done like this
[ -e "/sys/class/net/$iface" ] && [ "$(cat /sys/class/net/$iface/operstate)" =
up ]
A patch is attached.
