Package: dhcp-client
Version: 2.0pl5-19.1
Severity: normal
The problem arises when /etc/dhclient.conf contains a
supersede domain-name "suffix.1 suffix.2";
directive which, like the supplied sample, contains two or more
domain names. The problem arises because dhclient-script does not
correctly quote the variable expansion:
--- dhclient-script-orig 2006-04-09 19:39:30.000000000 +0100
+++ dhclient-script 2006-04-09 19:36:24.000000000 +0100

I also suspect, but haven't checked, that [ ! -z "$new_domain_name" ]
would probably be a cleaner way to perform this test, if you are
inclined to fix the several other places in the script where variable
expansion has not been quoted.
