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.

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

chronyc online > /dev/null 2>&1  (i.e. removing “-m” and “'burst 4/10'”)

Could you please report back if you are willing to test that of course?

Cheers,
Vincent

Before digging through that issue, that would be awesome if you could reinstall chrony and edit the line where “chronyc” is called by:
