Bug#889295: ppp-udeb: Use /bin/ip instead of /sbin/ifconfig in the interfaces configuration for the installed system

[Алексей Шилин]

Source: ppp
Version: 2.4.7-1+4
Tags: patch

Hi,

ppp-udeb installs the following interfaces(5) snippet (unrelated lines skipped):

# PPPoE connection
auto provider
iface provider inet ppp
        pre-up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE up
        provider provider

However, the net-tools package, which contains /sbin/ifconfig, is deprecated 
since stretch
and is no longer installed by default [1], which leads to PPPoE interface 
configuration failure.

The attached patch replaces ifconfig call with ip from iproute2.

Subject: [PATCH] Change /sbin/ifconfig call to /bin/ip from iproute2

ifconfig is no longer installed by default and is deprecated [1],
so ip command from iproute2 is used instead.
