Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-61 Severity: normal
I installed some other package that required a new initscripts. Afterwards my NFS filesystems stopped getting mounted at boot. It turns out that /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs looks in /etc/network/run/ifstate, and if the interface is not up yet [I have only lo and eth0] it stops. With my old version of ifupdown (0.6.7 I think) it seems that eth0=eth0 was not being appended to ifstate until after montnfs had checked for it. [Verified with strace -f]. Having upgraded to the current version of ifupdown (0.6.8+nmu1) the problem has gone away. The ifupdown changelog for version 0.6.8 mentions something about rewriting the way that the state file is handled, and I guess that this is the key difference. I suggest that initscripts should depend on ifupdown >= version 0.6.8.
