Details

Updated dhcp packages that fix various bugs are now available.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration
information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast
address.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

* in certain sections, the dhclient man page contained an extra space
before a period at the end of a sentence.

* the dhcrelay and dhcpd init scripts returned incorrect error codes. In
these updated packages, the dhcrelay and dhcpd init scripts are Linux
Standard Base (LSB) compliant, which resolves these issues.

Users of dhcp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
