[Bug 1757077] [NEW] Cannot configure network when installing ubuntu server in language other than English

[Yeongsoo Yoon]

Public bug reported:

Package: netcfg
Version: 1.142
Severity: normal

We cannot configure network when installing ubuntu server in language
other than English.

We finded that the reason is related to the source code of the network
package ‘netcfg’.

In dhcp.c of netcfg-1.142ubuntu5(netcfg package source code directory),
the ubuntu server installer identifies the four network configuration
methods by checking whether they begins with the letter ‘R’ or ‘C’ or
ends in ‘k’ at line 361~376(strcmp sucks), when we choose one of them.

Thus the four network configuration methods cannot be identified when
installing in language other than English.

We hope that we can configure network when installing ubuntu server even
in language other than English.

** Affects: netcfg (Ubuntu)
