This shouldn't cause any problems though, since /etc/network/run
is nowadays a symlink to /run/network:

% ls -ld /etc/network/run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun  8  2011 /etc/network/run -> /run/network
% ls -ld /etc/network/run/ifstate
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Jan 20 09:01 /etc/network/run/ifstate
% ls -l /run/network/ifstate 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Jan 20 09:01 /run/network/ifstate

Moving to the new path may also be troublesome, since ifupdown depends
on the new initscripts for it to transition to /run.  That is, we need
to continue using the old path or else we'll have an unsatisfiable
circular dependency.  The old paths will continue to be valid until
after wheezy for this reason.  We could always try the new and then
fall back to the old path as an alternative.


So none of the above is to say that there isn't a bug, just that it's
probably not a result of the /run transition unless you deleted the
compatibility symlinks.

Roger
