Package: iproute Version: 20080725-2 Severity: important 'ip addr flush' fails with error 'Failed to send flush request: Cannot assign requested address' on first try for any given interface. Subsequent invocations appear to work.
This is a particular problem when running a Xen dom0 with the network-bridge script. This script never completes due to the above error - indeed, it leaves the interface to be bridged down and without an IP. To replicate: Run 'ip addr flush <dev>', where <dev> is an interface that has not yet been flushed. It is unknown whether this bug requires a Xen kernel to replicate, or if it happens with other Lenny kernels. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iproute depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-11 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ Versions of packages iproute recommends: pn libatm1 <none> (no description available) Versions of packages iproute suggests: pn iproute-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
