Dear Maintainer,

Hello John,

After upgrading to stretch I noticed my network was not registering correctly.

By this I mean that even though the network (eth0) came up and worked, it
didn't have an entry in /run/network/ifstate (the ifstate file was empty).

This is using ifupdown + ifplugd in a setup that worked fine on jessie and
works fine now after removing chrony.

I’m sad to hear that upgrading to Stretch caused you some troubles!

It took me a while to nail down the problem, but I finally noticed this kept
showing up in my log.

   run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/chrony exited with return code 1

When I put an 'exit 0' at the top of that script my networking came up fine
and was added to /run/network/ifstate. So by exiting with an error that script
was preventing ifup from completing the ifstate registration.

Cheers,
Vincent

I will try to reproduce this issue by setting up a similar network environment.
