Bug Description

After upgrading edgy packages today (will attach the list of all installed packages), the network interface didn't come up, not even manually.

I tried to ifdown, ifup and I got this error:

Yes, I am positive I was running this command as root. This could be related to #61632, but I'm not sure.

Kernel versions I've tried:

Linux elvis 2.6.17-7-386 #2 Wed Sep 6 17:53:03 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

Linux elvis 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

I replaced upstart for sysvinit and initscripts which were in /var/cache/apt/archives, just in case, but it didn't work either.

The upgrade process failed, so dhcp3-client remained unconfigured. I chrooted into a Sarge directory, run dhclient in the interface, exited chroot and re-run dist-upgrade. It's all working now.
