Package: ifupdown2
Version: 1.0~git20151029-1
Severity: normal

Hello, 

Recently systemd has been tagged as "conflicts" with ifupdown 
so a system update broke my network configuration. I have been
able to restore the configuration by using ifupdown2 but I have
seen a few error messages that probably indicate that there are
missing dependencies on this package.

Despite the errors I have been able to use ifupdown2 to get
eth0 up and then using the "pump" package I could configure
DHCP to get my Internet connection working again.

When trying to configure a static IP address:

 > ifup eth0
 warning: /etc/network/interfaces: line4: cannot find source file 
/etc/network/interfaces.d/*
 warning: failed to execute cmd 'ip -force -batch -' ([Errno 2] No such file or 
directory)

When trying to use DHCP:

 > ifup eth0
 warning: /etc/network/interfaces: line4: cannot find source file 
/etc/network/interfaces.d/*
 warning: failed to execute cmd '/sbin/dhclient -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf 
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0' ([Errno 2] No such file or directory)

Please ignore the "line 4" warnings since I don't think they
are relevant.

I believe that whatever packages provide "ip" and "dhclient"
should be listed in "depends" or "recommends" on ifupdown2.
