Package: dhcp-client Version: 2.0pl5-19.1 Severity: normal When dhclient runs as a daemon, it writes a pid file, however the main dhclient process exits before the pid file is created. This means that there is a race condition when the program that spawned dhclient wants to check to see if it is still around, it tries to read the pid file, but it hasn't been written yet.
