Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7.8 Severity: important Tags: upstream
With debian sqeeze version, you have dhcp3-client installed. After 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to wheezy, the package dhcp3-client is kept. However, in wheezy, ifupdown expect to use dhclient from isc-dhcp-client package. The problem is the parameter difference between dhclient from dhcp3-client and isc-dhcp-client. dhclient from isc-dhcp-client accepts the -v parameter while dhclient from dhcp3-client doesn't. The workaroud after 'apt-get dist-upgrade' is 'apt-get remove dhcp3-client && apt-get install isc-dhcp-client'. The solution would be: - to remove the -v parameter in file ifupdown.nw, at line 5132. But we'll miss some useful informations at boot. - to add to the ifupdown package installation script to check the package isc-dhcp-client. May be add it as a 'depends'. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-upda
