[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#612247: network-manager: network-manager breaks /etc/network/interfaces when upgrading from lenny to squeeze

[TSUCHIYA Masatoshi]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-6
Severity: serious

Hi,

I had the working /etc/network/interfaces file for lenny:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    allow-hotplug eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    iface eth0-home inet static
	address 123.123.123.123
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 123.123.123.1
	dns-nameservers 123.123.123.1

It was broken by network-manager when upgrading from lenny to squeeze as
follows:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    allow-hotplug eth0
    #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp
    #NetworkManager#iface eth0-home inet static
	address 123.123.123.123
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 123.123.123.1
	dns-nameservers 123.123.123.1

This causes that a loopback device is disappeared for squeeze system,
because this /etc/network/interfaces file is syntactically broken.

I believe that the network-manager postinst script must consider
continuous lines in the /etc/network/interfaces file.

Regards,
