reassign 635322 isc-dhcp-client forcemerge 632716 635322 severity 632716 serious thanks
Hello everybody, I'm reassigning bug #635322 , originally reported against wicd, to isc-dhcp-client, and merging it with #632716 (which is the same exact bug). The reason why I believe this is not a wicd bug is shown below. $ cat /var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf | grep -v ^# send host-name "moocca"; $ hostname moocca $ sudo /sbin/dhclient -v -cf /var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf wlan0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.2.2 Copyright 2004-2011 Internet Systems Consortium.

It surely did in the past :) I'm raising the severity of this bug because it breaks unrelated software, like Salvo already described (and I myself have experienced his symptoms). Kindly, David -- .
