Package: dhcpcd
Version: 1:3.2.3-5
Severity: normal
Excuse me for my bad English :-)
I have install dhcpcd with Synaptic, then reboot nachine and still have
previous DHCP client running:
$ ps ax|grep dhcp
1477 ? Ss 0:00 dhclient -v -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0
I tried dpkg-reconfigure dhcpcd in hope that it give me some menu for DHCP
client selection
but it did not say nothing.
I am sure that I am not understand something in Debian configuration traditions.
But I am sure that operating system must be more user-friendly and must not
eat many time for it reconfiguration.
If dhcpcd conflicts with other dhcp clients - then installation system must ask
user what
client he/she want to use after installation.
As a minimal variant installation process should give user message with info
that
dhcpcd will not run by default and user should change this manually (+ some
hints how).
Also "dpkg-reconfigure dhcpcd" should check: is dhcpcd selected as default DHCP
client or not?
It should be something that browsers like to do: check: is browser default or
not.
