Hi Andrew, dhcp3-client provides dhclient which doesn't accept the -v parameter, this is the problem. I agree with you that a dhcp client must remain in suggests field so we have two options:
- remove the -v parameter in ifupdown.nw,5132 and isc-dhcp-client + dhcp3-client are happy, - trick dhclient of dhcp3-client to accept the -v parameter For your information, in wheezy, isc-dhcp-client is installed by default. It was not the case in squeeze, the default install is dhcp3-client.

If you update your dhcp3-client package, it will provide dhclient3 as a symlink to dhclient > - to add to the ifupdown package installation script to check the > package isc-dhcp-client. May be add it as a 'depends'. Not everyone needs a DHCP client, and those who want may not want it from ISC. Therefore DHCP client is currently in Suggests field. -- WBR, Andrew
