   It's been removed from testing yesterday, and that broke the Debian LXC   
   images.   
      
   More precisely: "debci setup" uses lxc-templates to build the   
   autopkgtest LXC images, and the lxc templates wants to install   
   isc-dchp-client. So that breaks the daily build of eg. Salsa CI's   
   autopkgtest LXC images:   
      
   https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/autopkgtest-lxc/-/pipelines/1021471   
      
   I suppose ci.debian.net is affected as well.   
      
   I've found that replacing isc-dhcp-client with dhcpcd-base (as it   
   Provides: dhcp-client, just like isc-dhcp-client) _seems_ to work. Maybe   
   others can comment if they think it's the right solution, and in that   
   case it's an easy fix in the package lxc-templates.   
      
   I also noticed that the Debian builds at   
   https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/job/image-debian/ broke as well.   
      
   These builds use distrobuilder, the modern replacement for   
   lxc-templates, and they still install isc-dhcp-server. However I looked   
   at the recipes and I have the impression that these images use   
   systemd-networkd, so maybe isc-dhcp-client shouldn't be installed at   
   all, after all. I have opened an issue upstream to clarify:
