[Bug 900234] Re: dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases in syslog again on Precise

[Arnaud FLORENT]

there is still a problem when using ifdown with version 0.7~beta2ubuntu1

as  dhclient3 is now a symlink to dhclient
it is called with /var/lib/dhcp3 path for the lease file


cf ifupdown.nw

down
    dhclient3 -r -pf /var/run/dhclient.%iface%.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.%iface%.leases %iface% \
        if (execable("/sbin/dhclient3"))
    dhclient -v -r -pf /var/run/dhclient.%iface%.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.%iface%.leases %iface% \
        elsif (execable("/sbin/dhclient"))

Title:
  dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases in syslog
  again on Precise

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Getting errors similar to the following in the syslog on Precise:

  Dec  5 10:47:44 srv-jygxu dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of 10.251.70.10 on eth0 to 10.251.70.9 port 67
  Dec  5 10:47:44 srv-jygxu dhclient: DHCPACK of 10.251.70.10 from 10.251.70.9
  Dec  5 10:47:44 srv-jygxu dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: No such file or directory
  Dec  5 10:47:44 srv-jygxu dhclient: bound to 10.251.70.10 -- renewal in 1299 seconds.

  This was apparently fixed on natty but appears to have regressed in
  Precise and Oneiric.
