Bug Description

A day ago, I experienced a strange freeze during network initialization (preventing normal system startup). After some investigation I found out that the problem were in "ifup -a" and more specifically "ifup lo".

Further looking into the problem revealed that the problem seems to originate from /etc/network/if-up.d/zeroconf-up.

I've switched hardware and reinstalled since posting this bug. I have not experienced the problem since then, so I guess it's fixed. :)

This problem is caused by the if-up.d script name change which occured between version 0.3-1 and 0.6-1. The previous one zeroconf-up is not deleted and causes problems with loopback interfaces.

It adds a postinst script which removes /etc/network/if-up.d/zeroconf-up if it exists.

This is an adaptation of what the Debian maintainer does in his package but it contains a Debian policy violation:

In fact, according to the Debian maintainer it may not be a policy violation.

Anyway, package is waiting for sync with Debian unstable zeronconf 0.8-2.
