Package: dhcp-client Version: 2.0pl5-19.1 Severity: important Tags: patch Line 52 of /etc/dhclient-script writes "search $new_domain_name" to /etc/resolv.conf. However, if $new_domain_name is emtpy, it merely writes the word "search" which breaks /etc/resolv.conf and causes the `host` command to stop working. Following is a (simple) patch to fix this issue.
