A lot to examine...

One thing stands out. There is an error of sorts in /etc/daemon.log:

Oct 26 17:44:05 dudley systemd-udevd[271]: 
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-ifupdown.rules: 2 Unknown group 'netdev', ignoring

I "accidentally" deleted the "netdev" group a few days ago. I wonder if 
that's the reason.
