Quoting the original report: "That might cause unnecessary IP changes in some scenarios, but haven't witnessed any ill effects myself yet." I have witnessed ill effects. In my case, my ISP's dhcp server provides an incorrect dhcp-server-identifier to clients, so I do this in my dhclient.conf to fix it: supersede dhcp-server-identifier 10.124.192.1; But, this does not take effect if dhclient cannot save a leases file, which is the case when the /sbin/dhclient3 symlink exists. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 768171 /sbin/dhclient3 remains after all dhcp3 packages purged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799136 Title: dhclient3 tries to access inexistant /var/lib/dhcp3 for lease file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/799136/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
