Maas is being fixed to use “ip” instead of ifconfig. The reason why it wasn’t noticed before is because MAAS does only use LTS releases for commissioning. Since we only run ifconfig -a during commissioning, then the regression wasn’t found till recently. On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 9:10 PM Steve

OTOH, it's also been this way since zesty and no one else seems to have cared until now that it regressed. I think the effort is better spent fixing maas to not depend on deprecated tools. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to

Ok; that seems like something that should be fixed in maas by making it not parse the output of deprecated tools with buggy interfaces? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763534 Title:

net-tools is deprecated in favor of iproute2, and is only included in the server seed in 18.04 because there wasn't time in the 18.04 cycle to verify the effects of its removal. What depends on the behavior of 'ifconfig -s' (which I've never once in 20 years of Linux seen before) that makes this
