Re: DHCP problem following Etch upgrade

This is the same problem as in my previous thread ("Hanging during

enabled me to narrow it down a bit.

dhcp-client (I assume)  is pausing indefinitely at the "bound to 
80.x.xxx.x -- renewal in 56953 seconds" message. This applies during 
boot-up and also if I run "ifup eth0".

Hitting Ctrl+C gets past the problem and the IP address appears to be 
bound correctly despite this pause - at least, I'm not having any 
difficulty connecting to the internet.

The problem has only started arising since a recent upgrade in which I 
replaced dbus-1 with dbus, on my Etch installation.

Also, while we're on the subject of dhcp-client, is there any 
reason/benefit to installing dhcp3-client instead of, or as well as, 
dhcp-client? At the moment I only have dhcp-client installed, it's not 
been a problem to date, and am not quite sure what the difference is.

As a follow-up, I've tried replacing dhcp-client with dhcp3-client, and 
the same problem is still arising.
