Bug Description
Hi,
I've update a computer form breezy to dapper using the update-manager. I get "/sbin/ifrename command not found" during the boot... The ifrename init script doesn't check for the executable to be present... The ifrename package should be pruged instead of simply removed

Same problem when changing /etc/apt/
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

ifrename no longer exists in current releases of Ubuntu, and upgrades from breezy to anything but dapper are not supported. Thus this bug is no longer relevant in the current world. I apologize for marking it invalid, but that's the best state Launchpad provides. (The bug is not invalid, it is obsolete, but none of the other options are good either.)

Thanks for your bugreport.
I can add a rule to the dist-upgrader to purge the ifrename package if that is save to do in all cases. Keybuk, what do you think?
Thanks,
Michael
