Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7~alpha3 Severity: serious The experimental version of ifupdown uses definitions for dhcp as "dhclient -e -pf ..." while the one in unstable uses "dhclient -v -pf ...".
The current isc-dhcp-client package, which is the package currently providing the dhclient binary, declares the syntax as "[ -e VAR=value ]" (I guess -e might have meaned something else a long time ago when dhclient was not from isc dhcp v4). This results in "-pf" being treated as VAR and the argument after -pf as the interface to work on, resulting in errors like this when running ifup: dhclient -e -pf /var/run/dhclient.skif.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.skif.leases skif /var/run/dhclient.skif.pid: interface name too long (is 26) ifupdown-0.7~alpha3/ifupdown.nw line 4136 needs to be fixed and should probably just switch the -e to -v to match (the equivalent) line 3970 in ifupdown-0.6.10/ifupdown.nw -- Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
