Bug#608807: ices2: ethernet address changed

[Bob Proulx]

Package: ices2
Version: 2.0.1-9
Severity: normal

A dist-upgrade today upgraded ices2.  The new dependencies pulled in
dnet-common, libdnet, libroar0, and muroard which caused the machine
to set the ethernet address to aa:0:4:0:a:4 from its previous address.
This of course caused the network to be problematic until the arp
caches timed out.  The package changing the ethernet address appears
to be dnet-common which is now a dependency of ices2.

Does ices2 really need to have decnet installed and configured?

Bob
