Comment 116 for bug 1770082

For what it's worth, I'm still seeing set-name having no affect on a server's only interface.

Server is using Ubuntu 19.04, with netplan.io-0.96-0ubuntu4.1, AMD64 arch. It's a bare-metal server with a single "e1000e" ethernet device. No cloud-init installed.

Config file /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml starts like this:

    network:
      version: 2
      renderer: networkd
      ethernets:
        enp4s0:
          match:
            name: enp4s0
          set-name: eth0
          addresses:
            - $IPV4
            - $IPV6
           (etc.)

The interface is configured adequately in boot, but the interface name is not changed according to "set-name eth0". It just doesn't change, with "netplan apply" or not.
