[Bug 306703] [NEW] typo in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95dhcp3-server prevents it operating

[Daniel Pittman]

Public bug reported:

This may be a duplicate of bug #242020, but that isn't entirely clear to
me that the original reporter has the same root cause as what I have
discovered.  The symptoms I have encountered are more or less identical,
and restarting dhcp3-server manually does resolve the problem where my
DHCP server will not issue a lease until restarted.

(I use a number of VM systems for development purposes, which have DHCP
assigned IP information, for what it is worth.)

The dhcp3-server package includes the script /usr/lib/pm-
utils/sleep.d/95dhcp3-server, which is designed to stop the server
before suspend and to restart it afterwards.

This script has a typo which renders it ineffective: line 3 is 'case ""
in', where it should be 'case "$1" in'

The consequence of this is that the empty string, which triggers the
script to do nothing, is always considered to be the running case.  The
resolution would be to correct that typo, which should then stop and
start the DHCP server as expected.

Regards,
        Daniel
