Package: isc-dhcp-server
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hi,
I notice that isc-dhcp-server startup script (/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server) use
the "ps" command to confim if the daemon is running, but "ps" command is
provided by "procps" package, which is NOT a dependency of isc-dhcp-server.
If you try to install isc-dhcp-server in a server without "procps" package
(debian-min in Docker, for example) you always get an error when you try to
start the daemon, even if the service is started successfully.
Just add the "procps" to the package dependency should be work.
Thank you vey much, and regards from Spain!
