[Bug 916890] Re: "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

[Stéphane Graber]

Thanks, I think I should have enough to reproduce the issue here now
(finishing to upgrade my test VM).

If you have a minute, can you try booting your system without your announce-ip script?
Having it "exit 1" seems to disturb ifupdown trying to bring up your loopback device, I'm not sure if something changed in ifupdown's handling of a script failure, but it's probably worth trying without the script and see if that solves it.

Title:
  "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrade from 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu6 to 0.7~beta2ubuntu1 brought this on:
  on every boot the "Waiting for network configuration" and "Waiting up
  to 60 seconds more for network" messages appear and boot is thus about
  2 minutes slower than before. It also says it's booting without
  network, but the network is in fact there after I log in.

  Downgrading back to 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu6 makes the wait go away again.

  Reproduced this on three different computers on two different
  networks, both wired and wireless.
