Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.3.1-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

I installed two minimal Debian Jessie 8.0 systems on two spare sandbox PCs in 
my office. I installed
Debian 8.0 32-bit on one PC, and Debian 8.0 64-bit on the other one. 

Since I have a local Dnsmasq server, I didn't want to provide any "hardcoded" 
hostname information.

/etc/hostname contains only 'localhost', and similarly, /etc/hosts only has 
information about 
'localhost' and 'localhost.localdomain'.

On the 64-bit client, the hostname gets set correctly by the server. After 
booting, I login to the 
machine, and 'hostname' returns 'raymonde' as expected. 'hostname --fqdn' 
returns
'raymonde.microlinux.lan'. 

On the 32-bit client (which has the exact same setup), 'hostname --fqdn' should 
return 
'bernadette.microlinux.lan'. Unfortunately, all I get here is 
'localhost.localdomain'. 

Just to be on the safe side, I performed a fresh installation of a clean Debian 
system on each of
these client machines, one with 32-bit, one with 64-bit. The same problem 
arises again. 

So it looks like this is a bug in dhclient which only affects 32-bit systems.

Cheers from the sunny South of France,

Niki Kovacs
