DHCP Server is not installed with Edubuntu LTSP Installer

[Jonathan Carter]

Edubuntu has a Ubiquity plugin that installs ltsp-server-standalone when selected.

This is installed fine, but the transitional package, dhcp3-server (for isc-dhcp-server) is not installed. dhcp3-server is a recommends for ltsp-server-standalone.

The packages are in the installation media pool and installs just fine if I do it manually afterwards.

I'm marking this as high since it's a highly visible and highly advertised feature of Edubuntu and it worked fine until now.

This should work better now that I have permission to read the file...

Ok, looking /pool on the CD, there's dhcp3-server and isc-dhcp-server but we are missing isc-dhcp-common.

That was very likely caused by Lamont's upload of isc-dhcp yesterday and the archive being inconsistent at the time of the Edubuntu build.

isc-dhcp-common is built from the i386 source and wasn't in the archive at the time of the DVD build.

Doing a manual install in a shell shows:
 - isc-dhcp-server : Depends: isc-dhcp-common (= 4.1.1-P1-15ubuntu8) but 4.1.1-P1-15ubuntu7 is to be installed
confirming the hypothesis.

Doing an "apt-get update" and trying the same "apt-get install isc-dhcp-server" shows that the issue is solved with the current archive.

Tested, works fine now.
