That might be the usual problem with packages removed but not using the purge option. (leaving things in rC state). Would not be the first time this causes issues generally speaking. But the ifupdown hook might get improved. Not that it will likely be used post Xenial with systemd- networkd taking over.

When ubuntu-fan is installed all is fine, we have a hook /etc/network/if-down.d/ubuntu-fan and a binary /usr/sbin/fanctl But if a user removed the package, then we get into trouble. The hook is in /etc and therefore by default considered to be a conffile. Therefore we only have the hook left which fails by: /usr/sbin/fanctl: not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-fan/+bug/1742712/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
