** Description changed: SRU justification [Symtpom]:The dchp client on 12.10 and 13.04 on 64-bit installations fails with "Unable to set up timer: out of range" and then exits when the max lease time is given (~135years). [Impact]: Systems running on networks with max lease times will not configure and the dhcpclient will error out and exit. [Test Case]: - Set DHCP Server to serve out max lease times - Configure Ubuntu to use DHCP - Run "sudo restart networking" - Check if dhclient is NOT running, i.e. "ps axw | grep dhclient" - Install new isc-dhcp-client and isc-dhcp-common package - Run "sudo restart networking" - Check if dhclient IS running, i.e. "ps axw | grep dhclient" [Regression]: No regressions are expected. This fix simply reduces the - lease time by 9 seconds in cases where the lease exceeds the max lease. + lease time to (MAX_TIME - 9) seconds in cases where the lease exceeds + the max lease. [Originial Report]: On Windows Azure, the max lease time is used.
