Bug#772650: general: Debian could not use gateway in 169.254.0.0 ip range
1) General is the wrong package for this bug. (i assume it's going to
get closed, network-manager or ifupdown are probably a better idea).
2) Assuming the former is causing the problem (because you have eth0
in /etc/network/interfaces).
FIX 1) Set managed=true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.
as per https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager#Enabling_Interface_Management
(and restart)
FIX 2) If that fails (and you use network-manager) remove ALL
instances of eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces (and restart)
Expect this bug to be closed. Check network-manager bugs in the bug
tracker. And at some point plan a project to change the internal IP
range. 169.254.x.x is wrong.
