Bug#117190: ifuser linked against GLIBC_2.0 causes network config to fail

[Matt Kern <matt.kern@gyre.co.uk>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.15-2001-10-18; reported 2001-10-26
Severity: important

There is a bug in the boot-floppies package to do with the pcmcia support.

When trying to network install on a laptop, cardmgr exits prematurely when
bringing the network up.

The command below is run automatically by cardmgr:

./network start eth0

And provokes the following error:

/sbin/ifuser: relocation error: /sbin/ifuser: symbol getnetbyname, version
GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

It is possible to bring eth0 up manually at this point.
