It's been removed from testing yesterday, and that broke the Debian LXC images. More precisely: "debci setup" uses lxc-templates to build the autopkgtest LXC images, and the lxc templates wants to install isc-dchp-client. So that breaks the daily build of eg. Salsa CI's autopkgtest LXC images: https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/autopkgtest-lxc/-/pipelines/1021471 I suppose ci.debian.net is affected as well. I've found that replacing isc-dhcp-client with dhcpcd-base (as it Provides: dhcp-client, just like isc-dhcp-client) _seems_ to work. Maybe others can comment if they think it's the right solution, and in that case it's an easy fix in the package lxc-templates. I also noticed that the Debian builds at https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/job/image-debian/ broke as well. These builds use distrobuilder, the modern replacement for lxc-templates, and they still install isc-dhcp-server. However I looked at the recipes and I have the impression that these images use systemd-networkd, so maybe isc-dhcp-client shouldn't be installed at all, after all. I have opened an issue upstream to clarify: https://github.com/lxc/lxc-ci/issues/956 Best, -- Arnaud Rebillout / OffSec / Kali Linux Developer
