Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7-0.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

I just upgraded ifupdown and after reboot, my interfaces did not come
up, because /etc/network/run/ifstate did not exist.
/etc/network/run/ was a link to /dev/shm/network, which does not exist
(/dev/shm exists)

I tried creating /dev/shm/network, but it is lost after reboot.

Quick fix (as root):
mkdir /var/run/network
cd /etc/network
rm -f run
ln -s /var/run/network run

For me the bug is critical because lo does not comme up, which breaks a
lot of networking daemons (postfix, bind...).

Cheers,

tibob
