Does the file itself exist? I suspect that it now does not.

I suspect that what happened is that when you installed and removed
ifupdown-extra, the stray /etc/network/if-up.d/00check-network-cable got
removed, and so the problem it was causing went away too.
The question is why that file was there in the first place, but there's
probably no way to find that out at this point, unless the situation can
be reproduced on another new install.
