[Bug 410968] [NEW] vnstat does not list other interfaces if eth0 is never used

[HaraldK]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vnstat

Typically I have 2 or three network interfaces (potentially) running:

eth0 -- ethernet cable
eth1 -- wlan
ppp0 -- UMTS modem


Since eth0 is nearly never used (at least not since I startet using vnstat), there is nothing to report on eth0. When I just type vnstat, I get a a summary of today and of the last day the interface was used for eth1 and ppp0. If, however, I request data for the month with -m, vnstat complains that there is no data yet for eth0 and displays no data. I have to explicitly request -i ppp0 or -i eth1 to get monthly output for those interfaces.

Expected behaviour: Also more the monthly output I would expect that
vnstat lists just the data it has and does not stop listing data just
because eth0 does not yet have data.

This is Ubuntu 9.04.
