Package: dhcp-probe Version: 1.3.0 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The 'dhcp-probe' package generates the initial configuration for the daemon in the /etc/dhcp-probe/ directory. The postinst script uses the '/sbin/ifconfig' command to detect the network interfaces present on the system and create a configuration file for each one. Unfortunately, the output format of the /sbin/ifconfig command in Debian Stretch and beyond changed to the extent that the postinst script is not able to correctly parse its output, does not detect any network interfaces and does not create the configuration files for 'dhcp-probe' anymore. Thus, after installation of the package, the daemon is not started for any network interface and user is required to create the relevant configuration files by hand for the service to operate. I suggest that the postint script of the 'dhcp-probe' package should be updated to use the /sbin/ip command instead. The /sbin/ifconfig command is deprecated and does not provide sufficient details for it do be usable by shell scripts.
