[Bug 1238981] Please test proposed package

[Stéphane Graber]

Hello Chris, or anyone else affected,

Accepted iproute into raring-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute/20121211-2ubuntu1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Trying to remove a namespace when another namespace is mounted may fail.
  Upstream discussion here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/240795
  This affects P/Q/R, but is fixed in S.

  [Test Case]
  Run this as root in one terminal:

  ip netns add netns_one
  ip netns add netns_two
  ip link add name if_one type veth peer name if_one_peer
  ip link add name if_two type veth peer name if_two_peer
  ip link set dev if_one_peer netns netns_one
  ip link set dev if_two_peer netns netns_two
  ip netns exec netns_one bash

  Run this as root in another terminal:
  ip netns delete netns_two

  It should pass, but this fails with:
  Cannot remove /var/run/netns/netns_two: Device or resource busy
