Bug Description
Hi,
I don't know if this is the right package to report but: I have upgraded to 20.04 from 18.04 and my network stopped working. Problem was that bridge-utils package was uninstalled, so network was unable to start. Reinstalling the package solved the problem. But I don't understand why it was uninstalled. I have reviewed the release note for 20.04 and I haven't seen the problem, so I'm reporting in case in can help anyone.
Regards

Hello Javier,
Actually the release notes for the version you were at:
https:/
already deprecated ifupdown in favor of netplan.io.
Upgrade path to 20.04 has likely uninstalled bridge-utils because of that. You can keep using ifupdown + vlan + bridge-utils + net-tools but do have in mind that those tools are being deprecated in favor of: systemd-networkd, netplan.io, iproute2, etc.
Good examples on how to obtain the same result using netplan.io can be found at:

For now I'm marking this as a Invalid bug. If think there is anything else on this topic I would suggest writing to Ubuntu Users mailing list, a correct place for community-based technical support.
Best regards,
