** Description changed: given 3 nics eth0, eth1, eth2 dhclient -1 -v -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0 while that in its early phases, if eth1 is renamed a race condition can cause dhclient to exit failure. + + This can happen in real life when udev and persistent rules are used. + Ie, in a system where eth0 is configured for 'auto' and dhcp and + persistent rules cause renaming of devices during boot. + + I have set up recreate of that more complex system + lp:~smoser/+junk/lp1444428 , but this recreate is simpler to catch. example, while running attached 'nic-go-crazy' on other nics, I try ifup eth1 $ sudo ifup eth1 sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.3.1 Copyright 2004-2014 Internet Systems Consortium.
