Title:
dhclient invoked with wrong leases path, because dhclient3 exists as
symlink
Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am getting the following error in syslog:
dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: No such file or directory
ifupdown (invoked by ifup) appears to use a wrong leases path:
dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
From looking at the ifupdown package, it appears to come from ifupdown.nw:
up
[[ifconfig %iface% hw %hwaddress%]]
dhclient3 [[-e IF_METRIC=%metric%]] -pf /var/run/dhclient.%iface%.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.%iface%.leases %iface% \
if (execable("/sbin/dhclient3"))
dhclient [[-e IF_METRIC=%metric%]] -v -pf /var/run/dhclient.%iface%.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.%iface%.leases %iface% \
elsif (execable("/sbin/dhclient"))
% ll /sbin/dhclient*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 495K 2011-08-11 17:50 /sbin/dhclient*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2011-08-15 19:11 /sbin/dhclient3 -> dhclient*
