Details

Description:
new version of dhclient looks for /sbin/dhclient-script which is in fact /etc/dhclient-script
Also, /etc/dhclient.conf is a example config file and is not suitable for generic use.

workaround : /etc/dhclient.conf should only contain :

script "/etc/dhclient-script";


Additional info:
* package version(s) : 4.1.0.p1-2
This task depends upon

I disagree: I have extracted the package dhclient-4.1.0.p1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz (md5: e7a757886a08d55853059b5f4630cd86) and the resultant /etc/dhclient.conf file references /etc/dhclient-script. I have also verified this is the case in dhclient-4.1.0.p1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz (md5: ab2e5e6c7bd2af7df18a9825bf1d3fc3).

What chu talkin bout Willis?!

Did you perhaps edit your /etc/dhclient.conf and pacman kindly refused to give you the new rev? I.e., is there an /etc/dhclient.conf.pacnew file floating around that references /etc/dhclient-script?

I will do the following to fix both bugs (this one and http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17885):

1. Install the dhclient.conf file as dhclient.conf.example
2. Move dhclient-script back to /sbin/ where it is located as defined in the sourcecode
