Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntop

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04
Release:        8.04

ntop:
  Instalados: 3:3.2-10.1
  Candidato: 3:3.2-10.1
  Tabla de versiĆ³n:
 *** 3:3.2-10.1 0
        500 http://cl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When I run ntop like this "/etc/init.d/ntop start" I got

    Starting network top daemon: ERR: interface ppp0 is DOWN...

and ppp0 is *not* down.

    The problem here is the system language(Spanish i my case) because
ifconfig output is in Spanish and ntop is checking the interfaces
supposing that the output is in English. So the problem is here (about
line 61 of /etc/init.d/ntop)

    while read iface ; do
        if ! ifconfig "$iface" | grep -w UP >/dev/null; then
            echo "ERR: interface $iface is DOWN..."

where ntop start scritp search for the word "UP" in the output of
ifconfig and it didn't find it because, in my case, ifconfig says
"ARRIBA" (UP in Spanish) and for that the check fails.
