Package: dhcpcd Version: 1:3.2.3-3 Severity: normal
The Debian package of dhcpcd ships a wrapper script for the real daemon, which has some advantages. However, it does its own check if dhcpcd-bin is already running. a) This check is not necessary, dhcpcd-bin does its own. b) The check is not done properly. ps ax and grep are used to get a list of dhcpcd-bin instances which is then grepped for the interface. This is a problem with uncommon interface names: I have interfaces 'lan' and 'wlan', so I cannot start dhcpcd on lan if there is one running for wlan already. I suggest just removing the does-it-already-run checks from the wrapper, they are not necessary. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dhcpcd depends on: ii bsdutils 1:2.15.1~rc1-1 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii libc6 2.9-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii procps 1:3.2.8-1 /proc file system utilities dhcpcd recommends no packages. dhcpcd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
