Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-9
Severity: normal
While trying to setting up a fallback configuration for dhclient, I hit the
following bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=100886
It is still present on the latest package so I think this has to be documented
in a visible place.
In brief, dhclient cannot get a lease if any of thess apply:
- "expire" value is not defined
- "expire" has an incorret value (past time)
So kindly:
1. Let the user to know what are the required parameters that need to be
present to properly set up a fallback configuration (by defining a static
lease)
2. Provide a dhclient.conf template with an updated expire/renew/rebind date
(starting from the current year)
Thanks.

Upstream states this in the dhclient.conf manpage now:
These declarations are automatically set in leases acquired by the DHCP
client, but must also be configured in predefined leases - a predefined lease
whose expiry time has passed will not be used by the DHCP client.
Best wishes,
Mike
