[packaging] Missing dnsmasq-base dependency causes wifi
hotspot/network sharing feature broken
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released

Triaged
Bug description:
Impact
=======
In Ubuntu 17.04, the dnsmasq-base dependency has been dropped from
network-manager, and the wifi network sharing feature failed to work because of
this:
NetworkManager[874]: <error> [1491134643.1581] device (wlp3s0): share:
(wlp3s0) failed to start dnsmasq: Could not find "dnsmasq" binary
In my opinion it should at least in Recommends, refer following for
related info:
Bug #992411 “network-manager: Please don't Depend on dnsmasq-bas...” : Bugs :
network-manager package : Ubuntu
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/992411
This recommends was dropped here:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/279417634/network-manager_1.2.2-0ubuntu6_1.2.2-0ubuntu7.diff.gz
Test Case
=========
Install the update and ensure that dnsmasq-base is installed (it is a
recommends so it should be pulled in automatically by this update).
This test case requires a laptop (or desktop with Wi-Fi hardware)
running Ubuntu 17.04 with an ethernet connection to the Internet.
Open a terminal and run journalctl -f
Then open the Settings app (unity-control-center if running Unity,
gnome-control-center if running GNOME) and click the Network panel.
Enable the Wi-Fi hotspot.
Use another device to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot with the Access
Point name and the password presented. Use the Internet on the other
device.
There should not be any warnings in the journal output in the terminal
about "could not find dnsmasq"
Regression Potential
====================
Other Info
==========
This change was agreed upon by the Ubuntu Desktop Team and Martin Pitt who
spearheaded the resolved transition for Ubuntu 17.04.
https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/07/25/%23ubuntu-desktop.html#t13:27
(until 14:45)
This drops a diff with Debian because Debian already recommends
dnsmasq-base.
