A warning about all of these solutions: They will remove the package,
network-manager.
Sometimes this may rewrite the “/etc/network/interfaces” file. You can loose
network connectivity after a reboot as a result.
Be prepared to login to the console and fix that up manually if it happens.
Another work-around is to, before doing any apt stuff at all, put a suitable
fragment into the “/etc/network/interfaces.d/“ directory that configures at
least one of your network interfaces the way you want it. As an example, on my
test system I have:
> $ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/enp0s3
> auto enp0s3
> iface enp0s3 inet dhcp
Hope it helps!
