[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#612378: initscripts: /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs fails to mount if interfaces separated by more than one space

[Eugeniy Mikhailov]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs does not check for repeating white spacing
while parsing /etc/network/interfaces for the interfaces listed as
'auto'.

For example if /etc/network/interfaces has line: 'auto lo  eth0'
the function exit_unless_last_interface fails

If  this line changed to 'auto lo eth0' with only one space
between lo and eth0, everything works fine.

The simple patch for this is attached
