[Bug 905660] Re: [ifupdown] ipv6 refuse vlan interfaces

[Sebastian Unger]

I thought IPv6 not working would be reasonably critical? I know it only
happens if you run IPv6 over a VLAN, but I think that is a reasonably
common occurrence.

Unfortunately, I can't even work around this by pulling beta2 from
precise into oneiric due to the problem with libc (which has been closed
as invalid for reasons not entirely clear to me)

Title:
  [ifupdown] ipv6 refuse vlan interfaces

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Package: ifupdown
  Version: ifupdown 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu5
  Severity: normal

  ifupdown (0.7~beta1) correct this bug :
      * Accept VLAN interface names (Closes: #632902).

  The interfaces file: (/etc/network/interfaces)
  auto eth0.77
  iface eth0.77 inet static
          address 192.168.1.50
          netmask 255.255.255.0
          gateway 192.168.1.1
  iface eth0.77 inet6 static
          address 2a01:6e00:1111:1111::2
          netmask 64
          gateway 2a01:6e00:1111:1111::1 

  => IPv4 is OK with VLAN77
  => IPv6 not mont with VLAN77  (IPv6 ok without VLAN)
