Package: libguestfs0
Version: 1:1.50.1-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bdr...@debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
ISC has announced the end of life for ISC DHCP as of the end of 2022.
Kea is the recommended successor of the DHCP server. This bug report is
about replacing the DHCP client dhclient. libguestfs0 depends on
isc-dhcp-client.
`appliance/init` uses following code to configure the network:
```sh
if test "$guestfs_network" = 1; then
iface=$(ls -I all -I default -I lo /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf)
# Two workarounds for Ubuntu:
touch /etc/fstab
rm -f /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolved
if dhclient --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
dhclient $iface
else
dhcpcd $iface
fi
fi
```
Please change the dependency to "dhcpcd-base | isc-dhcp-client" to allow dhcpcd
as alternative and to make it the default.
