Comment 16 for bug 109917

I tried installing netatalk on a reasonably plain ubuntu gutsy version. It failed with:
Setting up netatalk (2.0.3-6ubuntu1) ...
Starting Netatalk services (this will take a while): eth0: disabled.
atalkd: zero interfaces, exiting.
invoke-rc.d: initscript netatalk, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing netatalk (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 netatalk
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I added my active interface to /etc/netatalk/atalk.conf and reran
sudo apt-get install netatalk
which then successfully ran. Maybe the package shoudl prompt for interface?
