You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have the iproute2 package installed on a 14.04 LTS system.  Everything
was operating just fine.  I had not done a software update in a while.
I used the Software Updater from Dash and updated the system.  It
updated a couple hundred megabytes.  The update completed without error
(as far as I know).  It said a reboot was needed.  So I rebooted.

After that, I had problems.

Specifically, when I type "ip rule list", the output runs on and on and on, seemingly without end.
0:	from all lookup local 
0:	 from all lookup local 
0:	 from all lookup local 
0:  	from all lookup local 
0:	 from all lookup local 
0:    from all lookup local 
...

I tried "ip rule flush" which seems to hang.
I was eventually able to clear out the rules with:
ip rule del pref 0
ip rule del pref 32766
ip rule del pref 32767

But that leaves me without even the 3 standard rules, which are:
0:	from all lookup local 
32766:	from all lookup main 
32767:	from all lookup default

So I need to add those back
But as soon as I try to add the first of the 3 standard ip rules, the problem occurs again:
ip rule add from all table local pref 0
ip rule list
0:	from all lookup local 
0:	from all lookup local 
0:	from all lookup local 
0:	from all lookup local 
0:	from all lookup local 
0:	from all lookup local 
...

The same thing occurs if I try to add any of the other standard rules.

I tried updating a second 14.04 LTS machine.  The same thing happened to
that one.

Now what?
