Subject: | ifconfig may be missing on newer Debian systems |
The test suite fails depends on ifconfig and fails if it's missing:
...
# Failed test '/sbin/ifconfig test'
# at t/Net-Int-Stats.t line 12.
Bailout called. Further testing stopped: Does /sbin/ifconfig exist?
FAILED--Further testing stopped: Does /sbin/ifconfig exist?
make: *** [Makefile:814: test_dynamic] Fehler 255
...
It seems that on newer Debian systems (stretch and newer) ifconfig is not installed by default. See https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-missing-ifconfig-command-on-debian-linux for a related article.
