For the first time since Hermine, I booted host g5eas, which has both 16.04
and Jessie. Both are configured with static IP. Both have
/etc/sysconfig/interfaces. Neither have /etc/dhcpd.conf.
This makes more sense!
I hope that your life has gone somewhere back towards normal.

I wonder what created this? I can't imagine why a system would be
configured for fixed IP and yet have an ostensible DHCP configuration file
at all, much less specifying static configuration parameters. Does that
installation also have /etc/sysconfig/interfaces, and if so, is it last
written subsequent to /etc/dhcpd.conf? Or before?
...I
hadn't tried "service networking restart", which generates a
warning. While networking was fine at this point, I ran the suggested
command which had no visible affect (networking still fine).
Ha, I still use the file /etc/network/interfaces, same way as I'm used
from previous versions of Debian. This is for me an unknown novelty. It
has some advantage over the interfaces file?
