Package: ifupdown Version: 0.8.44 Severity: important After upgrading my Amazon lightsail vps to Trixie, it kept having the network just go dead and would need rebooted. After some digging, I realized that dhclient was not running. I don't know how ifup got the initial DHCP lease, but syslog shows dhclient was never run, and there appeared to be no daemon running to renenew the lease. Without renewals, the network stopped working after a while. After I manually run dhclient, it keeps renewing the lease and things stay working.
