Yes, of course, sorry for the typo. I C&P wrongly (I did too many
tests :)).

I used literally this (1:1 copied), but I get the same message I
had during my tests, about already existing interfaces.
Unfortunately they are not stored in any /var/log/* file, so I
hopefully retype correctly:

[....] Configuring network interfaces...Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should
 be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #9 to IF -:eth0-  error: File exists
Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config:
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #9 to IF -:eth0-  error: File exists
done.

Beside this looks as vconfig messages are unexpected (they
distrub the screen layout), the big "ERROR" messages look really bad.
