[Bug 351378] Re: dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)

2016-09-26 Thread xennex82
Can confirm that it is still in Debian stable as of 2016. Cannot test Ubuntu now. Installing udhcpc and uninstalling isc-dhcp-client does the trick. No need to put any package on hold. At least, when you are still using /etc/network/interfaces. I have not tested network-manager or anything else.

Here's the summary how how to work around this bug: First, if you're using Dnsmasq on the server-side you might run into Bug #327703. The Dnsmasq author has a patched version available. 1. On Hardy, download and install the attached dhcp3-client dummy package: % sudo dpkg -i
