Dear Maintainer,

if I run `ifdown wlan0` I get three times the message

	/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: 1: xargs: not found

hence my report.

I can fix this issue by setting a link of xargs in /bin/xargs

Note that my box is a sysvinit box.

hth,
Jerome

Thanks! However, I am wondering how this is caused by ifupdown.
Maybe I am too sleepy today, but I am unable to find any call to xargs
in the ifupdown code.

What are the contents of your /e/n/interfaces? Haven't you any call to
invoke-rc.d in a `down` command in your iface wlan0 stanza?

Cheers,
