Bug in dhcp-client - problems getting a hostname

[Manuel Hachtkemper]

Hi everyone,

there is a bug in the dhclient-script (package: dhcp3-client) in squeeze, which can result in not getting a (new) hostname. (This can result in not matching classes, which is really not good!)
See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508804

So if you encounter this bug you should use the patch from Harald Dunkel, which seems very comprehensible to me. (Either by patching the package itself, or just editing this shell-script via FAI, which should also work.)

Best regards,
Manuel
