Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5dfsg1-20
Severity: important
In the script /etc/init.d/dhcp the is an assignment: INTERFACES="eth0"
Later, this variable is used on the --exec line to start dhcpd on only the
interfaces specified in the variable $INTERFACES.
The problem is that INTERFACES acts as a reserved word, and usually returns
blank.
Changing the variable name to INTERFACEZ fixed the problem, and all worked as
expected.
