Package: netcf Version: 1:0.2.8-1ubuntu2 Due to the fact that Ubuntu turned away from ifupdown (which was fihgtinh with NetworkManager/networkd anyway) I have come to realize an issue in netcf.
It uses tools from ifupdown like for example src/drv_debian.c:1053: run1(ncf, ifup, nif->name); But has no dependency to it. So using the netcf API to change interfaces can end up failing fatally by the tools not being around. Now in Debian ifupdown is mostly around, but it is not flagged Essential, so I thought it would be worth to ask for the dependency to be added. -- Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
