Public bug reported:
I've found an issue on some of our Xenial office machines, causing
NetworkManager to drop its IP address lease in some cases when it
shouldn't. I'm not sure if the actual bug is in NetworkManager or
perhaps dbus or dhclient, but I'll do my best to help to figure out
where it is.
What appears to happen:
* NetworkManager is informed of a new IPv4 lease.
* During the lease, dhclient keeps it fresh by renewing it using DHCPREQUESTs
regularly.
* In spite of this, NetworkManager drops the IP address from the interface when
the last reported lease time expires.
This happens on various machines, once every few days. We are using a
failover DHCP configuration using two machines (192.168.0.3 'bonaire'
and 192.168.0.4 'curacao').
The machine where I've done the debugging is called 'pampus'
(192.168.0.166). As you can see in the logs, at 01:21:06 NetworkManager
reports a new lease with lease time 7200.

(eth0): state changed bound -> bound
After this, dhclient is supposed to keep the lease fresh, which it does.
E.g. at 03:13:19 you can see a DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK; I've seen this
DHCPACK in a tcpdump and it contains a new lease time of 7200 seconds.
jun 07 03:13:19 pampus dhclient[1532]: DHCPREQUEST of 192.168.0.166 on eth0 to
192.168.0.4 port 67 (xid=0x3295b440)

jun 07 03:13:19 pampus dhclient[1532]: bound to 192.168.0.166 -- renewal in
2708 seconds.
However, at 03:21:07 (exactly 2 hours and 1 second after the last lease
reported by NetworkManager) Avahi and NTP report that the IP address is
gone:
jun 07 03:21:07 pampus avahi-daemon[1167]: Withdrawing address record for
192.168.0.166 on eth0.
jun 07 03:21:07 pampus avahi-daemon[1167]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on
interface eth0.IPv4 with address 192.168.0.166.
jun 07 03:21:07 pampus avahi-daemon[1167]: Interface eth0.IPv4 no longer
relevant for mDNS.
jun 07 03:21:08 pampus ntpd[18832]: Deleting interface #3 eth0,
192.168.0.166#123, interface stats: received=2512, sent=2549, dropped=0,
active_time=111819 secs
So I suspect NetworkManager dropped the IP address from the interface,
because it wasn't informed by dhclient that the lease was renewed. The
logs don't explicitly say this, so I may have to turn on more verbose
debugging logs in NetworkManager or dhclient to verify this.
