Dominique Dumont,

   I don't think it is sufficient that the dependancy be resolved. I
just upgraded two hosts on my network, as a result dnet-common got
installed on both. I was aked "configure, don't configure, or leave it
alone". I chose "leave it alone", and guess what -- both hosts on my
network were given the same mac address.

   There was absolutely no indication of this. Not only did my hosts
lose their assigned IP's, the entire network broke because this
package got installed.

   Changing mac addresses is kind of a big deal. You can't just do it
when somebody picks a default configuration option of "not right now".
The dnet-common package needs to be fixed to never, EVER change
somebody's MAC address unless they explicitly consent to this action.
