severity 297898 important thanks Thanks for the report.
The postinst fails because in your case /etc/network/run points to /dev/shm/network prior to installation but /dev/shm/network does not exist at that time. The failure does _not_ occur if /etc/network/run is absent when the package is installed (because in that case the postinst creates the directory) or if /etc/network/run points to /dev/shm/network and /dev/shm/network/ does exist. Thus the postinst fails in a relatively rare case. Because of this and because the same bug was also present in the previous version, I am downgrading the report below RC level. Nevertheless, the bug is important and must be fixed. Please test ifupdown version 0.6.4-4.12~rc1 which I have made available at http://www.aglu.demon.nl/ifupdown. I attach the postinst if you prefer just to test that. -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
