This is currently spread across different seeds, we have: ubuntu.<release>/server * open-iscsi # This is Needed by MAAS images to deploy via iscsi
ubuntu.<release>/server-ship * open-iscsi * open-iscsi-udeb # This is for the installer on/through iscsi (server images) ubuntu.<release>/ship * open-iscsi * open-iscsi-udeb # This is for the installer on/through iscsi (non server images) I think it would be enough to change the first of these, we don't need to even touch the -ship seeds. We want this on the CD Images for convenience and the installer as needed. So we only talk about ubuntu.<release>/server here and have to requests in one: a - some want to be able to remove it without removing ubuntu-server (easy, by drop to recommends) b - some want it not installed by default at all, for that we would need to find a different solution for MAAS images and check if there are others relying on this. I thought I'd make a merge proposal for Cosmic for (a) and solve it soon. But then I realized (b) is very different, due to the unification of images I'm not so sure we can fix (b) easily without harmstring various use-cases. I'll send a few mails to clarify and then come back here with either a (a) fix or an (a+b) fix if there is a way to do so. -- 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/1630946 Title: ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ubuntu-server has a hard dependency on open-iscsi, which means there is a daemon running (iscsid), and the package cannot be removed. All unnecessary daemons are a cause of concern when auditing a system.
