From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010808 Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install initscripts-6.20-1 RPM 2. Use ifup to start the network loopback interface (./ifup lo). Actual Results: The following error was printed: ./ifup: line 231: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' ./ifup: line 251: syntax error: unexpected end of file Expected Results: The network loopback interface should have been brought up. Additional info: The ifup script contains the following, around line 98: # FOUNDMACADDR=`LC_ALL= LANG= ip -o link show ${REALDEVICE} | \ sed 's/.*link\/ether \([[:alnum:]:]*\).*/\1/'` It should look like this: # FOUNDMACADDR=`LC_ALL= LANG= ip -o link show ${REALDEVICE} | \ # sed 's/.*link\/ether \([[:alnum:]:]*\).*/\1/'` There is a missing comment character on the second line.
