I am running Ubuntu 19-04.
I am trying to install ifupdown2
When I do
dpkg -i ../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb It says
Selecting previously unselected package ifupdown2. dpkg: considering removing ifupdown in favour of ifupdown2 ... dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of ifupdown (--auto-deconfigure will help): pppoeconf depends on ifupdown (>= 0.7.44~) ifupdown is to be removed. dpkg: regarding ../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb containing ifupdown2: ifupdown2 conflicts with ifupdown ifupdown (version 0.8.34ubuntu2) is present and installed. dpkg: error processing archive ../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing ifupdown2 Errors were encountered while processing: ../ifupdown2_1.2.1_all.deb Does anyone know the solution to this?

cat /etc/network/interfaces returned
# ifupdown has been replaced by netplan(5) on this system. See # /etc/netplan for current configuration. # To re-enable ifupdown on this system, you can run: # sudo apt install ifupdown I wanted my network connections to be controlled by Network Manager, not Netplan. If I had to install ifupdown then I wanted ifupdown2.
I tried
apt install ifupdown Which returned

The following packages have unmet dependencies: ifupdown2 : Conflicts: ifupdown E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). So I did
apt --fix-broken install Which returned

[ifupdown] managed=false to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and did
systemctl stop systemd-networkd systemctl disable systemd-networkd service NetworkManager restart Everything seems ok but if anyone knows how to upgrade ifupdown2 from 1.2.1 to 1.2.5-1 that would be good.
