Package: totd
Version: 1.4-3
Severity: normal
When dhcp3-client is used for acquiring network configuration,
postinstall script doesn't find its configuration patches and doesn't
write dhclient-enter-hooks
dhcp3-client keeps its configuration in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
instead of /etc/dhclient.conf and uses directory of hook files
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d
So, it should be quite easy to modify install scripts so that they would
check for such setup and write neccessary hook into
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/totd instead of
/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
There is a workaround:
One can create symlink to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf in /etc before
installation/reconfiguration of totd and then move created
dhclient-enter-hooks file into /etc/dhcpl3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/totd
Probably, simular problem occurs with other DHCP clients included in
Debian distribution such as pump, dhcpcd, udhcpc
I can imagine that some of these dhcp clients are not flexible enough to
allow totd function as automatically reconfigurable proxy DNS server.
I think that in should be somehow mentioned in the totd package
documentation, for instance in README.Debian, that totd interoperable
only with such and such dhcp clients. But dhcp3-client should be
supported, because it is easier to support it than to explain why it is
not supported.
