/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs does not check for repeating white spacing
while parsing /etc/network/interfaces for the interfaces listed as
'auto'.
For example if /etc/network/interfaces has line: 'auto lo eth0'
the function exit_unless_last_interface fails
If this line changed to 'auto lo eth0' with only one space
between lo and eth0, everything works fine.
The simple patch for this is attached
