Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5-6.2
Severity: important
dhcpd as documented should only be monitoring broadcast interfaces.
ipsec interfaces (using freeswan) are not tagged as broadcast, but are
typically configured with the same IP address as the system's remote
interface:
e.g.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:09:54:B7:D8
inet addr:63.199.168.250 Bcast:63.199.168.255 Mask:255.255.255.248
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:28864 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:24373 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:87 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:13283955 (12.6 MiB) TX bytes:12301887 (11.7 MiB)
Interrupt:4 Base address:0xc000
ipsec0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:09:54:B7:D8
inet addr:63.199.168.250 Mask:255.255.255.248
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:16260 Metric:1
RX packets:431 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:368 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
RX bytes:355211 (346.8 KiB) TX bytes:44168 (43.1 KiB)
dhcpd is seeing packets come in from eth0, but incorrectly assuming they are
coming from ipsec0 and dropping them, claiming the nework is down (because
there is no tunnel up at system startup).
dhcpd should not be looking at ipsec0 at all, as it is not a broadcast or
multicast interface and the system has it tagged as such.
workaround is to manually specify a list of interfaces, but since this has
to be done on the command line, it will be blown away every time we update
/etc/init.d/dhcp.

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/122177 in Debian BTS
against the package dhcp. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

http://bugs.debian.org/446386. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
