Description Martin Osvald 🛹 2023-10-30 13:28:45 UTC

Description of problem:

ISC dhcp is no longer maintained upstream since the end of 2022. The
Infrastructure Services team is not planning to support it in RHEL 10.
Your RHEL package dracut-network currently has a dependency on dhcp-client. We
recommend that you remove this dependency and use an alternative DHCP
client such as dhcpcd, busybox's udhcpc, or internal dhcp client provided
by NetworkManager/systemd-networkd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dracut-network-0:059-14.fc40.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

# repoquery --enablerepo=\* --whatrequires dhcp-client
...
dracut-network-0:059-14.fc40.x86_64

Comment 1 Aoife Moloney 2024-02-15 23:03:00 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.
