Bug#767054: ifconfig: doesn't show secondary v4 addresses (but shows secondary v6)

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-26
Severity: normal


Hey.

Not sure if this is intended/expected, but it seems that while ifconfig
shows secondary IPv6 addresses, it doesn't show secondary v4 addresses:

e.g.:
# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:19:db:32:06:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

The above uses this /e/n/interfaces:
allow-auto	lo
allow-auto	eth0


iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
	address		11.22.33.199
	netmask		255.255.255.224
	gateway		11.22.33.193
	
iface eth0 inet static
	address		11.22.33.204
	netmask		255.255.255.224
iface eth0 inet static
	address		11.22.33.211
	netmask		255.255.255.224
iface eth0 inet static
	address		11.22.33.214
	netmask		255.255.255.224

iface eth0 inet6 static
	address			aa:bb:cc:dd::1:0
	netmask			64
	gateway			fe80::1
	
iface eth0 inet6 static
	address			aa:bb:cc:dd::2:0
	netmask			64
	preferred-lifetime	0
iface eth0 inet6 static
	address			aa:bb:cc:dd::2:2
	netmask			64
	preferred-lifetime	0

	preferred-lifetime	0
iface eth0 inet6 static

(I changed the addresses for privacy reasons).


Cheers,
