Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I've just upgraded some little servers used as firewalls to stretch.
On reboot 'arpwatch' does not start up, and on logs i catch:

Seems to me simply that 'arpwatch' get started by systemd *BEFORE* interfaces
get bought up, so simply does not find it.
After system booted, a:
systemctl restart arpwatch
make arpwatch work again.
For now, i've added that on /etc/rc.local.
Thanks.
