Package: vlan Version: 1.9-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When trying to add a new vlan interface, the interface is named with a suffix of "_rename", e.g. vlan5_rename or eth1.5_rename. This means that the /etc/network/interfaces entry won't work, ifupdown cannot find the said interface. I also get this error in dmesg: net eth1.5_rename: device_rename: sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17) I tried with various kernels, always same result, except that for older kernels, the error message doesn't come on dmesg, the interface is just silently named foo_rename. Kernels I've tried: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 linux-image-2.6.23-1-amd64 2.6.23-1 self-compiled vanilla upstream 2.6.23.12 with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED not set. A subsequent "ifrename -c /dev/null -i eth1.5_rename -n eth1.5" gives a similar error message, but does rename the interface, which gives rise to a work-around by adding the ifrename call to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/vlan . -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_LU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_LU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vlan depends on: ii iproute 20070313-1 Professional tools to control the ii libc6 2.7-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries vlan recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
