[clug] What could be stopping dhclient from setting the default route?

[Michael Still]

Do you have use-routes set to false in
/etc/netplan/...whatever.that.filename.is... ?

https://github.com/canonical/netplan/blob/main/doc/netplan.md for more
details. Failing that, I'd run `netplan apply --debug` and see if that says
anything helpful.
