package: net-tools severity: important version: 1.60-23 ifconfig seem to not be able anymore to "deconfigure" a virtual interface.
The Official Manual example [1] in the section 10.6.1.7 does not work anymore because of this. So e.g: # ifconfig eth0:1 inet 0 up does not work anymore As noted in [1] (which is the same bug of this in the ubuntu's bts) I think that dhcp3-client's important bug #275653 is caused by this bug too, so I CC it.
