Bug#172247: installation-reports: Selecting netcfg-dhcp should automatically select pump-udeb
Package: installation-reports
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-08
Severity: normal
INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: http://people.debian.org/~sjogren/d-i/local-di-sarge.iso

Comments/Problems:
There is clearly a dependency structure between the options presented at
the "Load Installer Modules" step. The user shouldn't have to infer it
beforehand; if an option is selected, its dependencies should also be
selected.
For instance: if the user selects option 2,
"Configure the network via DHCP", the following message appears:
"No dhcp client found. I cannot continue. This package requires
pump or dhcp-client"
The program should have automatically installed option 8, "Simple
DHCP/BOOTP client for debian-installer".
