Sorry for failing to explicitly ack this. I think that you're right, we shouldn't expect a third package to know that if they want dhcp support from initramfs-tools, that this requires isc-dhcp-client. Either initramfs-tools should depend on isc-dhcp-client itself, or the dhcp support should be split out of initramfs-tools into isc-dhcp-client; and either way it shouldn't really be cloud-init's problem. In any case, due to this outstanding issue, isc-dhcp-client has NOT been dropped from the minimal seed for 18.04 and will not be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759307 Title: missing dependency on isc-dhcp-client (dhclient) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1759307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
