Ubuntu-devel-discuss Digest, Vol 50, Issue 4

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

According to the ifupdown changelog the latest changes are
ifupdown (0.6.8ubuntu29.2) lucid-security; urgency=low

  * debian/ifupdown.network-interface{,-security}.upstart: handle race
    condition when loading AppArmor profiles for interfaces (LP: #689892).
    Patch by Kees Cook.

ifupdown (0.6.8ubuntu29.1) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/ifupdown.network-interface.conf: Bring up lo manually, so that it
    comes up even if /etc/network/interfaces is broken (LP: #512253).
  * debian/ifupdown.upstart.if-up: Don't emit a duplicate net-device-up
    event for lo here, as network-interface.conf will have taken care of it.

ifupdown (0.6.8ubuntu29) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/postinst: if the loopback interface is missing from the config in
    /etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade; there is no valid use case
    for a system without localhost, and not bringing this up will cause
    upstart runlevel handling to fail.  LP: #497299.

please see them, otherwise report a bug (or try the maverick version to see if 
the problem is fixed)

 Just my two cents

> Hi,

> I have Ubuntu 10.04 running on  VMware ESX. After upgrading ifupdown (to
> 0.6.8ubuntu29.2) dhclient no longer  seems to acquire a DHCP lease. If I
> restart the network manually, dhclient is  able to get a valid DHCP lease.
> 
> If I revert back to the previous version  of ifupdown (0.6.8ubuntu29)
> dhclient is able to get a DHCP lease. I have been  able to replicate this
> on two different installations of 10.04 on  VMware.
