Package: isc-dhcp-client Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze9 Severity: important
Hi, it looks like the security update 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze9 to isc-dhcp-client changed the use of the config file for /sbin/dhclient from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to /etc/dhclient.conf -- the latter is not existing on squeeze machines, and so only some default DHCP options are requested from the DHCP server. In our case the option domain-search was not used, and so some of our NFS mounts broke as we did not use the FQDN. Please switch back to the original behaviour of using /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, which is part of the package isc-dhcp-client. Why was this changed, such a change should not be part of a security update?
