[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#656584: initscripts: /run transition: Please update /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs

[MAG4 Piemonte]

Hi Roger, this is our symlink situation:

# ls -ld /etc/network/run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 ago 16 10:58 /etc/network/run -> /dev/shm/network
# ls -ld /etc/network/run/ifstate
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 gen 20 07:48 /etc/network/run/ifstate
# ls -l /run/network/ifstate
ls: impossibile accedere a /run/network/ifstate: File o directory non esistente

We have not (intentionally) modified compatibility symlinks ...
Regards!

Guido
