Version: 0.54
(not sure about the exact version of netcfg I installed with, but the
issue occurred with both beta2 and beta3)
With both beta2 and beta3 I managed to obtain a system with
no entry for the loopback interface in /etc/network/interfaces.
I went through the netcfg process of the installer. DHCP failed to obtain
a connection, since it's pppoe, and I wound up punching in 192.168.0.1
(or was it 127.0.0.1? I can't recall) and other dummy static information
just to pass through the prompts. I then rebooted, and noticed that
the /etc/network/interfaces file contained only:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
...but nothing more. That there was nothing present about my fake static
connection I couldn't care less about, but the lack of an entry for the
loopback interface is serious. Presumably "lo" isn't missing for
everybody, or this would have been fixed ages ago, so I guess it must be
a problem specific to how I handled the installer.
Thanks,
Christopher Martin

I've been reliably informed on #debian-boot that this is fixed in netcfg 0.66.
