Not only debian:10, it fails also on my debian:9 (stretch) smoker.
Can you show me the output of the following command on a failing system? (You can obfuscate the addresses if you wish) LC_ALL=C /sbin/ifconfig -a

There's no /sbin/ifconfig on these systems. Debian stopped to install ifconfig by default. Nowadays one would use "ip" instead, which would look like this: $ ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:16:3e:9a:a6:eb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.0.23/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe9a:a6eb/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
