-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
This warning is just saying that you might want to reconsider recompiling your dhclient with a newer libcap - which has native support for 64-bit capabilities. This is supposed to be informative, and not be associated with any particular error. - From your comments, you believe that this patch causes something in your boot process to fail. Can you supply some detail about the version of dhclient you are using? I'd like to understand exactly what it is doing (via libcap).
