Hi,

so far the Debian network-manager package has been built with support for dhclient (isc-dhcp-client). In version 1.49.90-1 (1.50 rc1), I decided to disable support for dhclient. This has been triggered by the following upstream change:


https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/commit/001b3e9494234ff0bf7714bb37e36b48b10321dc

* The support for "dhclient" has been deprecated, not built unless
  explicitely enabled, and will be removed in a future release.
  The internal DHCP client should be used instead and has been
  the default since version 1.20 (1.12 when built with meson).


If you have used "dhcp=dhclient" in NetworkManager.conf, you can now remove this setting, as it will no longer be effective and only generate a warning in the journal like
"dchp: init: DHCP client 'dhclient' not available"

NetworkManager will automatically fall back to the internal client in this case.

Regards,
Michael
