This was previously marked incomplete, then expired. However, all the
information that is available is in the bug. Here is a summary again:
dhclient stops trying to renew a lease if a previous renewal failed (due
to server being unavailable).
See #6 for all the logs available. See how the client tried to renew,
then tried a new DHCPDISCOVER, then didn't try again for at least 3
hours, with expiry set to 4 hours or more and renewal time set to 2
hours.
This is a different scenario from the server not being available on
start, as clarified in #2.
Note that during the whole time, the client network interface was up, as
the switch it was connected to didn't fail.
