Package: dhcp-client
Version: 2.0pl5-19.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Line 52 of /etc/dhclient-script writes "search $new_domain_name" to
/etc/resolv.conf. However, if $new_domain_name is emtpy, it merely
writes the word "search" which breaks /etc/resolv.conf and causes the
`host` command to stop working. Following is a (simple) patch to fix this
issue.
Cheers,
Benjamin
