Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.1
Severity: important

Hello,

sorry for bothering you with this. I removed the ppp package and upgraded to a 
new kernel 
but otherwise I feel not to have done anything unusual.

# mkdir /run/network
# ifup lo      

Works! I suggest the ifupdown package creates the /run/network directory if not 
existing. It would be nice to find out what happened, though.

-- System Information:

The system once was Ubuntu maverick but was transformed to Debian Sid just by 
modifying /etc/apt/sources.list quite a while back. This is why it still 
reports the vendor's maverick installation.
