Package: dhcp3-client Version: 3.0.6.dfsg-1 Severity: important When dhclient renewed a lease, it *should* call dhclient-script with RENEW. If it failed, it *should* call the script with EXPIRE.
However, dhclient calls the script with EXPIRE as soon as the lease
expires, issues a PREINIT, and *then* seeks to renew the lease and
issues a BOUND event when successful. This is quite stupid as the
machine goes offline for a second, and it's also not what the
manpages says:
The DHCP client has failed to renew its lease or
acquire a new one, and the lease has expired. The IP
address must be relinquished, and all related parameters
should be deleted, as in RENEW and REBIND.
I noticed this while developing netconf. Look at its debug output
during a normal renew:
