[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#461011: initscripts: mountnfs fails with multiple interfaces on "auto" line in /etc/network/interfaces

[Nicholas Breen]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-49
Severity: normal

When multiple interfaces are specified on one "auto" stanza in
/etc/network/interfaces (as with the first example in its man page), the
regular expression in the exit_unless_last_interface() function of the
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs script collapses them into one:

% grep auto /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0
% grep "^[:space:]*auto" /etc/network/interfaces  | \ 
  sed -e 's/[ \t]*auto[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]//g'
loeth0

Since "loeth0" does not exist, NFS mounting fails to occur.
