Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.3.5-3
Severity: normal
Tags: lfs
dhclient is supposed to use the scripts at /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/
when it starts.
This works fine with dhclient -v <interface>. However, when using dhclient -cf
<conf_file> <interface>, the hook scripts are not used.
This can be seen below, where the use of the the -cf option doesn't use
resolvconf to update /etc/resolv.conf, but when I omit the -cf flag everything
works fine.
I don't see any option in the default config that enables this, so I'm assuming
it's a bug.
