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 Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759307 Title: missing dependency on isc-dhcp-client (dhclient) Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: cloud-init uses isc-dhcp-client (through 'dhclient') to obtain temporary dhcp ip addresses. It currently does not identify a dependency on it. initramfs-tools uses dhclient in scripts/functions to obtain ipv6 addresses (see bug 1621507 for more info).
