I am also still affected by this bug. I build small Ubuntu-based routers, and the ones running Xenial are very likely to fail to get new leases after the connection drops from the ISP, or if they're booted while the connection to the ISP / the ISP's edge device is down.
I'm having to resort to monkey-patching and cron-jobs to reliably get IP addresses on systems without NetworkManager, and it really stinks. =\ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to isc-dhcp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551351 Title: dhclient does not renew leases Status in bind9 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bind9 source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in isc-dhcp source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: Release: Xenial I think this only recently started after some bind9 updates triggered a rebuild. When booting dhclient gets started and acquires an IP address, but it does seem to lock up somewhere as it does not renew the lease. In my environment I set the lease time to 5 minutes, so I notice such things rather soon. I looked on the dhcp server side but saw any further dhcp messages come in from the client side.
