[Bug 1785768] [NEW] [bionic] net-installer dhcp client fails with DHCPDECLINE

[Ben Alletob]

Public bug reported:

During installation over PXE with a preseed file and with the netboot
files the dhcp client fails with a DHCPDECLINE. Apparently it's a known
issue which is often reiterated between each version according to this
bugreport : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/848072

The client machine start over PXE and get with success all files which
are needed to start the debian-installer. While it tries to configure
the network the client sends a DHCPDECLINE and the network configuration
fails.

I have downloaded netboot.tar.gz file from this link :

amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

Ubuntu version:  18.04
