Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: initramfs-tools 0.131ubuntu10 modified configure_networking to use run_dhclient instead of ipconfig. configure_networking now fails to configure networking in the initramfs because it now uses features not available in the initramfs. https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs- tools/commit/?id=a77729e9a69ff7af4911285c771d80e01b7addfe run_dhclient calls dhclient which calls /sbin/dhclient-script. /sbin/dhclient-script calls 'chown --reference=$resolv_conf $new_resolv_conf', but chown isn't available in initramfs /boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-7-generic. /sbin/dhclient-script also calls 'chmod --reference=$resolv_conf $new_resolv_conf' but busybox chmod in the initramfs does not support the option --reference.
