The isc-dhcp-client dependency exists to ensure support for network configuration from within an initramfs, for which systemd-networkd is not currently a replacement since we don't run systemd in the initramfs.
See also https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- devel/2022-May/042080.html ff regarding the removal of isc-dhcp-client altogether in the future, but at least for now I would consider this request invalid since we don't have a replacement for it. ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966562 Title: ubuntu-minimal should not depend on isc-dhcp-client Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: ubuntu-minimal already depends on `init` which depends on `systemd- sysv` which depends on `systemd` which comes with `systemd-networkd` that has a DHCP client in it.
