Description Cornelius Weig 2009-11-05 15:49:41 UTC

By default, I do not start net.lo. Trying to run the privoxy init script, fails without giving sensible error information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/net.lo stop
2. /etc/init.d/privoxy start





Letting /etc/init.d/privoxy depend on net.lo fixes the problem.

privoxy service already depends on net and baselayout let you control the meaning of this dependence through RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING. This service depends on net loopback interface only when you choose to use the loopback IP address in privoxy configuration file.

Closed as INVALID.

P.S. Why do you choose not to start net.lo? This service is vital for any IP host.
