Tried to reproduce it that way and I got no error with 0.31-4 installed gpe-shield, removed (and purged) ifupdown, uninstalled and reinstalled gpe-shield, no problems.

I really think this is a recurrence of #556402 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=556402 ifupdown: needs to depend on initscripts There is no need for ifupdown when using gpe-shield, it's perfectly happy with interfaces setup by ifconfig directly. (It doesn't care about interfaces at all, just calls iptables.) I've done all the tests without ifupdown even installed - gpe-shield just continues as normal (including installing and uninstalling, starting and stopping the firewall directly and via /etc/init.d/ Re-assigning to ifupdown. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
