Bug Description
[Impact]
The isc-dhcp-client package is pulled in as part of ubuntu-minimal. On systems where ubuntu-minimal is not installed (like on certain chroots), the walinuxagent package fails to install as the maintainer scripts implicitly require /etc/dhcp/
sed: can't read /etc/dhcp/
[Test Case]
Install the package with the added dependency on a system without isc-dhcp-client installed and check if it installs correctly.
[Regression Potential]
There should be no regression potential with this change as the new dependency is present on all everyday Ubuntu systems and azure images. Currently the package is used only on ubuntu-minimal environments so everything works as expected - the addition of this package only makes it now possible to install on systems without ubuntu-minimal installed.
