I am having problem with net-tools_1.58-1, so I was wondering, if it is my problem, or package update problem. If I update to net-tools_1.58-1, then ifconfig doesn't work.
Here is what happens: --------------------------- debian:/win/files/unstable# apt-get upgrade -u Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
