Description Martin Osvald 🛹 2023-10-30 13:53:39 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ISC dhcp is no longer maintained upstream since the end of 2022.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 libguestfs 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.

This dependency can be seen only in REHL9 due to:

Red HatBug 1926451 - mkrescue failed with an error: DHCP is enabled but no DHCP client binary (dhcpcd dhclient dhcp6c dhclient6) was found

This BZ is here to make sure (or get acknowledged) that it doesn't get fixed as a regression in RHEL10.


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

rear-0:2.6-19.el9.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

rhel9# repoquery --enablerepo=\* --whatrequires dhcp-client
...
rear-0:2.6-19.el9.x86_64

Comment 1 Martin Osvald 🛹 2023-11-01 15:13:27 UTC

Changing assignee as it makes more sense to have this assigned to RHEL maintainer directly so it doesn't get overlooked or forgotten.

Comment 2 Lukáš Zaoral 2024-02-06 14:54:57 UTC

Thank you for the report, Martin!  I'll replace the dhcp-client dependency with the dhcpcd which is, fortunately, also supported by rear.
