Comment 5 for bug 1350302

This bug was fixed in the package netcfg - 1.119ubuntu1

---------------
netcfg (1.119ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Set default hostname to 'ubuntu'.
    - Set priority for get_domain to high for static configurations.
    - Set priority for get_domain to medium for non-static configurations.
    - Use 'auto <interface>' for all interfaces, dropping allow-hotplug
      which doesn't work with current udev.
    - Set DHCP and DHCPv6 timeout to 30s.
    - Use isc-dhcp-client-udeb on all architectures.
    - Flush all addresses and routes before configuring interfaces
      (LP: #848072)
    - Don't copy /etc/resolv.conf to target if resolvconf is installed. (We
      already write resolvconf configuration to /etc/network/interfaces.)
    - Add a post-base-install hook to detect resolvconf and copy
      /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf to outside the target so that when /run is
      bind-mounted DNS resolving continues to work. (LP: #926447)
    - Apply patch from Alec Warner making netcfg respect
      netcfg/dhcpv6_timeout and running dhclient in one-shot mode (-1).
      (LP: #917905)
    - Fix FTBFS by checking the return value of fgets and fscanf.
    - Fix nm-conf to generate a valid NetworkManager static configuration
      file.

netcfg (1.119) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't copy /etc/network/interfaces to /target if
    netcfg/target_network_config=ifupdown; it's already been copied by the
    base-installer hook earlier, and copying it again makes it hard to
    modify /target/etc/network/interfaces in a preseed file (closes:
    #709017, LP: #1361902).
  * Fix BOOTIF detection to handle the newline at the end of a line read
    from /proc/cmdline (LP: #1350302).

netcfg (1.118) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix support for entering an ESSID manually, it was previously
    getting ignored (Closes: #757478). Thanks to James Cowgill for the
    report and the patch!

netcfg (1.117) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add lintian overrides for untranslatable debconf templates. I like
    when packages are lintian-clean...
