Hi,
ifupdown2 is recommended, because you can apply changes to the network configuration without rebooting. Please try apt --fix-broken install or apt install ifupdown2. The ifupdown package should be automatically removed by apt, because ifupdown2 conflicts with it.

should I purge the ifupdown or leave it as is even though it's stating not installed correctly ?

The rc means that there is still configuration for the package left over. Please check with dpkg-query --listfiles ifupdown what is still there. You just need to check for files, not directories. If you never modified those files, you likely won't need them. Afterwards you can run apt purge ifupdown.

@Fabian_E so I would check these directories for files ? I never modified any type of files so hopefully safe to purge. :)


Code: 
root@proxmox:~# dpkg-query --listfiles ifupdown
/etc
/etc/default
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/networking
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/systemd
/usr/lib/systemd/system
root@proxmox:~#

Thanks for your help
Regards,
Spiro

Yes, the directories don't won't be removed, if not empty, so if not belonging only to that package ;)

I did a ls under that directory and found 2 files one was ifupdown2
and the other was below
ifup@.service
not sure if that belongs to ifupdown2 or ifupdown ?
should I leave it or remove it ?
Thanks alot for your help again!!
Totally appreciate you and the Whole team on Proxmox :)

No, please don't remove any files there manually if you're not sure. Since you used apt purge ifupdown, all files belonging to the ifupdown package are already gone. What I meant by "check for files, not directories" is in this list

the only file is /etc/init.d/networking and you should've checked if you modified that. But in this specific case it's arguably not even a proper configuration file and I'd be surprised if you ever made any changes (worth preserving) to it ;)
