lxd missing dependency on iproute2

minimal cloud images should consider inclusion of iproute2 even if lxd adds iproute2 as an explicit dependency

I don't think we need to make a change in the minimal cloud images; this (and similar bugs) should be fixed in the packages that have the bug.

(Leaving this open for cloud-images so we can ensure that we handle rolling out the fix once it's in the lxd packaging.)

Having cloud images with only legacy network configuration tools like ifconfig, and not the current ip tool seems weird, though.

If we consider iproute2 to be essential to a functioning Ubuntu then, you know... ;)

it's an unfortunate side effect of the way the minimal images are constructed that net-tools is still present in the minimal image. Ideally we would not have net-tools in these images either; if we fix livecd-rootfs to remove it, would that be happier? ;)

This bug was fixed in the package lxd - 3.0.1-0ubuntu1

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lxd into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd/3.0.1-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I looked at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/lxd/3.0.1-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 and the depends is there now, so verified.
