Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.51
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I don't know when the problem appeared, but i think, it's after
including commit 661:6cd0fd2addca "Configure the loopback interface
by default only if user hasn't" into the shipped version of ifupdown.
* Procedure to reproduce
# ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
-rw------- 1 root root 1.6K Sep 11 11:22 /etc/network/interfaces
# ifup eth0
zsh: segmentation fault ifup eth0
* What was the outcome of this action?
segfault
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No segfault.
* Note:
When running with root privileges, it does not segfault.
