Bug Description
Servers normally use fixed IP addresses to communicate with them. Therefore it is useless to install dhcp client in ubuntu server edition. Trying to deinstall dhcp3-client breaks the module ubuntu-minimal which is said to also support automatic updates. On the other hand with dhcp3-client installed the client tries to get an address at startup and slows down the startup procedure. With multiple virtual servers on a single machine this significantly slows down server startup of the server environment.
Suggestion: Remove dhcp3-client from the dependencies for ubuntu server edition.
System information:
ubuntu 10.04 LTS server edition x86 installed in virtualbox
ubuntu-minimal 1.197
