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

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

Same problem when changing /etc/apt/sources.list from breezy to dapper and running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

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 (The bug is not invalid, it is obsolete, but none of the other options are good either.)
