It's still present in Ubuntu 7.10:

[...]
Running newaliases
newaliases: fatal: inet_addr_local[siocgif]: ioctl SIOCGIFNETMASK: No such device

Exim installs and runs with no problems, as do most other services. I
think that maybe nmap and postfix are making the same (incorrect)
assumptions in their code which cause them both to break. ISC dhcpd
also breaks. Maybe they've all copied in the same broken code from
somewhere...
