[Bug 1630946] Re: ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid

[Wido den Hollander]

Noticed this as well. I saw the iscsid daemon running on my systems, but
found out that these were installed by default.

root at sat01:~# apt remove open-iscsi

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-headers-4.4.0-62 linux-headers-4.4.0-62-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-63 linux-headers-4.4.0-63-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-64
  linux-headers-4.4.0-64-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-66 linux-headers-4.4.0-66-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-70 linux-headers-4.4.0-70-generic
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  open-iscsi ubuntu-server

This should be modified that open-iscsi is not installed by default

Title:
  ubuntu-server depends on open-iscsi and runs iscsid

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ubuntu-server has a hard dependency on open-iscsi, which means there
  is a daemon running (iscsid), and the package cannot be removed. All
  unnecessary daemons are a cause of concern when auditing a system.

  Propose moving this to "Recommends" instead, which currently has:
