description |
In Ubuntu 17.04, the dnsmasq-tools dependency has been dropped from network-manager, and the wifi network sharing feature failed to work because of this:
NetworkManager[874]: <error> [1491134643.1581] device (wlp3s0): share: (wlp3s0) failed to start dnsmasq: Could not find "dnsmasq" binary
In my opinion it should at least in Recommends, refer following for related info:

Impact
=======
In Ubuntu 17.04, the dnsmasq-base dependency has been dropped from network-manager, and the wifi network sharing feature failed to work because of this:
NetworkManager[874]: <error> [1491134643.1581] device (wlp3s0): share: (wlp3s0) failed to start dnsmasq: Could not find "dnsmasq" binary
In my opinion it should at least in Recommends, refer following for related info:
Bug #992411 “network-manager: Please don't Depend on dnsmasq-bas...” : Bugs : network-manager package : Ubuntu
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/992411
This recommends was dropped here:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/279417634/network-manager_1.2.2-0ubuntu6_1.2.2-0ubuntu7.diff.gz
Test Case
=========
Install the update and ensure that dnsmasq-base is installed (it is a recommends so it should be pulled in automatically by this update).
This test case requires a laptop (or desktop with Wi-Fi hardware) running Ubuntu 17.04 with an ethernet connection to the Internet.
Open a terminal and run journalctl -f
Then open the Settings app (unity-control-center if running Unity, gnome-control-center if running GNOME) and click the Network panel.
Enable the Wi-Fi hotspot.
Use another device to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot with the Access Point name and the password presented. Use the Internet on the other device.
There should not be any warnings in the journal output in the terminal about "could not find dnsmasq"
Regression Potential
====================
Other Info
==========
This change was agreed upon by the Ubuntu Desktop Team and Martin Pitt who spearheaded the resolved transition for Ubuntu 17.04.
https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/07/25/%23ubuntu-desktop.html#t13:27
(until 14:45)
This drops a diff with Debian because Debian already recommends dnsmasq-base.
