[Bug 910108] [NEW] Missing /var/lib/dhcp3 directory

[DragonK]

Public bug reported:

In a clean Ubuntu 11.10 server install, dhclient3 is run with a
configuration parameter that instructs it to write lease files in  the
"/var/lib/dhcp3". That directory is missing in the install, thus no
lease file is written.


# ps ax | grep dhclient3 | grep -v grep
  665 ?        Ss     0:00 dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases -1 eth0

# ls -l /var/lib/ | grep dhcp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root      root    4096 2011-12-30 16:24 dhcp

(no dhcp3 dir!)

# ls -l /var/lib/dhcp/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-12-30 16:24 dhclient.leases
