It appears the package ifupdown is installed by default on Ubuntu 19.04. (Note: As of Feb 2020, I suspect this paragraph may be incorrect and/or out of date.) This week I installed the desktop version of Ubuntu 19.04. In other words, a default install of Ubuntu (maybe 19.10?) may no longer include the ifupdown package. ( systemd-networkd may be better, but still has flaws IMO.) Finally, I am no longer confident that my update is correct. I also started configuring the network on most of my systems via systemd-networkd, rather than NetworkManager or netplan. I also realized I may be able to solve my particular problem by reconfiguring my DHCP server to assign IP addresses based on system names, rather than MAC addresses. I never found an elegant way make NetworkManager assign a particular MAC address to the first/only Ethernet adapter on whatever system my disk happened to boot on.
