I propose the removal of dhcp3-client as it appears to be inferior to the windows dhcp client (we can't have that now) and instead have udhcpc (which is available in universe) installed by default instead to resolve this issue which should never happen in software that is released to the public.
Users don't care if it's non-trival to fix... the fact of the matter is that all the adverage user will see is that the network isn't working (as they don't know about such things as dhcp) If some coder wants to have a look @ the workings of dhcp3-client & udhcpc and figure out why dhcp3-client fails @ life and write up a few patches then that might work as well. but unless some coder is willing do to that then ubuntu should quit shipping dhcp3-client as if it is worthy of being used in home desktop systems. -- dhclient fails when not using UTC in hwclock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
