net-tools is now a hard dependency

[Joseph Murphy]

I just wanted to give you a heads up that since the ip command has gained popularity in distros, the net-tools package (on Ubuntu/Debian) is now required to make the ifconfig command available for Blockade to function properly.

Thanks for your comment. But I'm not sure I understand. Blockade already uses ip directly everywhere that I see. And further, all use of ip and other system commands happen inside a Docker container, so should not be impacted by what is installed on the host.

Are you seeing a failure? If so, please share reproduction steps. Thanks!

Sorry for the necrobump, but I'll take a further look into this soon. I definitely ran into a ifconfig: command not found error when using Blockade in the spring.

Edit: Also, perhaps it is a indirect dependency through some library that Blockade uses.
