So at some point in the past, you have modified
/etc/network/if-up.d/upstart, and on upgrade when asked whether to use the
local or package-provided version of this script, you chose the local one.

The fix is to run 'sudo mv /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart.dpkg-dist
/etc/network/if-up.d/upstart'.  Before you do that, however, please attach
the output of this command:

$ diff -u /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart{,.dpkg-dist}

Do you remember modifying this file by hand previously?  If so, do you
remember why you modified it?

Title:
  "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" at boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10 32bit on Virtualbox and Win7 x64.
  I get a "Waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration" at boot, which causes the boot to be delayed by some minutes.
  It's not a duplicate of bug #881079

  /etc/network/interfaces:
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  Here's an extract of what Steve Langasek found to be "weird" in the
