Package: dhcp3-client Version: 4.1.1-P1-12 Severity: normal I recently upgraded a machine from lenny to squeeze. After the upgrade, it had installed: dhcp-client 3.1.1-6+lenny4 dhcp3-client 4.1.1-P1-12 isc-dhcp-client 4.1.1-P1-12 and maybe also packages dhcp3-common isc-dhcp-common After the squeeze update, at boot time, it did not set the local hostname from data sent by the DHCP server; whereas it used to do that just fine at lenny. Removing the above packages and installing dhcpcd 1:3.2.3-5 instead, solved my problem: suggesting a bug in dhcp3-client.
Please let me know if I should check or debug something.
