Package: shaper
Version: 2.2.12-0.7.3-2.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When the system has network interfaces with capital letters in their
names, many errors are displayed at shutdown time. For example:
Cannot find device "2:"
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
Cannot find device "<BROADCAST,MULT"
Cannot find device "mtu"
Cannot find device "576"
Cannot find device "qdisc"
Cannot find device "pfifo_fast"
Cannot find device "qlen"
Cannot find device "1000"
Cannot find device "3:"
The cause is that the part of the script which parser the output of "ip
link show" does not allow for network interface names containing
capital letters. I have attached a patch which explicitly allows capital
letters in the interface name. It might be worth making the parsing even
more forgiving, since the failure mode is so ugly.
