Thank you for the additional information. If you hit the bug in an upgrade from Xenial to Bionic, then why did you report version 1.60-26ubuntu1 of net-tools as affected? This version shipped with Xenial, not Bionic. Please could you confirm the version of net-tools that affects you with this problem on Bionic?
I accept that an upgrade from Xenial to Bionic that uses ifupdown will continue to do so. I hadn't considered that. However, use of dummy0 in the way that you are doing seems to me to be an unusual end-user configuration, so I think it still qualifies as Importance: Low against https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance. In any case the Importance doesn't really matter; I just want to set the expectation that you shouldn't expect developers to jump on this for you, since Bionic was released over a year ago now and you appear to be the only person affected by this problem.

I didn't say it was unsupported. Patches are welcome. I specifically did say it is still maintained. However everything that you can do with ifconfig you can do with ip(8), and there are many modern networking things that ifconfig does not support. ip(8) was written to replace it. ** Changed in: net-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828749 Title: ifconfig dummy0 : Device not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-tools/+bug/1828749/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
