Comment 5 for bug 1856255

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

There is no package named `ifconfig` so you cannot file a bug against a non-existent package.

Your "Apport told me that ifconfig was not installed. But it was!" is incorrect as apport deals with packages not commands. I have `ifconfig` installed on my box too, and a `dpkg -S /sbin/ifconfig` reports "net-tools: /sbin/ifconfig" ie. the command `ifconfig` is found in the "net-tools" package and that is what you should use with appport.

Reading your report it appears you are mostly after support.

This bug report can be converted to a question (aimed at support, bug reports are aimed and finding problems and fixing so subsequent users won't stumble with the same issue).

You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

I'm going to mark this report "incomplete" as it appears to be about support issues. If you believe I'm in error, please respond saying so in comment, and then the Status can be returned to "New".

Thanks again for helping make Ubuntu better.
