Bug Description

Binary package hint: dnsmasq

I tried to install dnsmasq on an environment without internet access. I used the ubuntu-10.04.1-server-i386.iso for installing the server. Afterwards, I tried to install dnsmasq from the cd.

* there is a package "dnsmasq-base" on the cd
* there is no package "dnsmasq" on the cd

The start skripts and config files are missing if you'll install "dnsmasq-base" without "dnsmasq". To me, it looks like dnsmasq-base is part of "main", whereas "dnsmasq" is part of "universe". Pretty confusing...

Anyway: Thanks for your work, lucid rules :)

The reason is that dnsmasq is not seeded directly. dnsmasq-base is used by Eucalyptus and so it is present on the CD.

Just checked http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.list. Lists dnsmasq-base but not dnsmasq.

The dnsmasq package is still not included on the Server ISO in 13.04.

The dnsmasq package is about 15KiB in size.
