Package: dropbear Version: 0.52-4 Severity: important When installed to DHCP server (running dnsmasq), initramfs-tools script that comes with dropbear breaks DHCP server by overwriting own IP address with DHCP-assigned (= self-assigned) address.
Following code in "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/dropbear" is causing delayed DHCP assignment by "ipconfig" command invoked from "configure_networking" shell function. configure_networking & mkdir -p /var/run /sbin/dropbear This is a problem because if you install dropbear to DHCP server, this background task will wait for oneself to come up, and then rewrites own IP address. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dropbear depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime dropbear recommends no packages.
