Package: atm-tools
Version: 2.4.1-17
Severity: important

Hi,

I use atmarp with my adsl modem.

When I upgraded atm-tools via ssh, dpkg stop the atmarp daemon, so my internet
connection was sutdown.
Hopfully I was in a screen so dpkg could finish its upgrade.

But when atmarp was restart, it lose its table and the internet connection
wasn't working anymore :(

I think you should:
- display a big warning before stopping atmarp daemon, and let the user
  cancel it if he won't lose his connection.
- don't stop atmarp
- find a way to recover the old state : save /var/run/atmarpd.table and
  refill it when starting. But this solution still failed if the
  user upgrade directly via ssh without screen.

regards,

Matthieu
