Not exactly. In iproute2-3.5.0 is issue, that without explicite -f option, 
output of ip addr command defaults to -f link (or -0), so there is no any IP 
family addresing shown (only link addressing). Option -f link or -4 solves 
problem, but many old scripts do not uses -4 explicite.

Better solution is upgrade to iproute2-3.6.0, where bug is corrected and ip 
command is working like in v.3.4.0.

Best regards
