Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal
I'm currently using debian-sparc (unstable). If the system brings up my network
interface it request my ISP for an IP through DHCP. This works fine.
However after the first refresh period ends the system doesn't refresh
it's IP, and looses the connection.
I then have to use dhclient manually to refresh the IP, and thereafter
it keeps working like a charm. The ip gets refreshed everytime.
After a reboot, or ifdown/ifup the same error occurs again.
Before using debian-sparc I used an i386 machine, which didn't
experience this problem.

This was caused by the behavior of old versions of dhclient. Current
versions don't exit once daemonized.
