Bug#384119: etherconf should die
Package: etherconf
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
etherconf has issues and overwrite the settings from
udeb netcfg.
It does not set the default host name to 127.0.1.1,
fill /etc/resolv.conf with garbage,
overwrite netcfg /etc/hosts, fails to apply chanages
to /etc/network/interfaces.
I believe it to be harmfull in all use case (more to
fix by hand afterwards than the
configuration it provides).
If only it could grab its data from the installation
stages ... there would be a point in
fixing it though as it is I believe it not to.
Ought not it to be removed for etch ?
Regards
Alban
