[Bug 714904] Re: /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave is missing (installed under if-pre-up.d)

[Stefan Bader]

No worries, we all started at some point. :)

Basically synaptics update should have updated the package and in theory
it should have worked then. I am not sure though, whether this still all
works that well. Problem is that there are a lot of ways to milk a cow.
>From a graphical end I would use update-manager. There would be a
settings button and that allows to enable proposed by clicking a button.

get update at least once to actually pull the information (maybe that
could be a missing step with synaptic).

And enabling proposed, yes that will give you _all_ the packages that are in the staging area. There is some way you can pin certain packages, but honestly I found that method too complicated to bother (One doesn't want to enable proposed on a production system for that reason).
Using update-manager you could deselect everything and then select only one package to install. And after that just deactivate proposed again.
Or packages also can be found through launchpad. For example:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6 which is ok as long as there are no dependencies to another proposed version.

I probably should be helping on the forums too, but I am not. Time seems
to be eaten by all sorts of other things. But there certainly are many
helpful people there. Or try irc. #ubuntu-server on freenode could be a
good starting point for things like this.

Title:
  /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave is missing (installed under if-pre-
  up.d)

Status in “ifenslave-2.6” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ifenslave-2.6” source package in Maverick:

Status in “ifenslave-2.6” source package in Natty:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifenslave-2.6

  Install of ifenslave-2.6 on both maverick and natty results in
  creation of /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new file. This
  file contains the primary bonding config handling script so bonding is
  broken. It appears that it's believed that there's a user generated
  file, which there isn't. The only files are the ones created by the
  package install.
