Description:

The latest dhclient in extra does not change current directory to "/" when daemonizing. This is a problem for instance when running netcfg from a directory that is part of a remote filesystem. It then becomes impossible to unmount the filesystem without first killing dhclient.

Looking in the changelog of the dhclient releases, I notice that from dhclient-4.0.0a2 all binaries change the current working directory to "/" when daemonizing, so upgrading the dhclient in extra is one solution to this bug.

Additional info:
* package version(s) : dhclient-3.1.2p1-3
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

# cd /some/random/dir
# ifconfig eth0 up
# dhclient eth0
# fuser /some/random/dir
This task depends upon
