Should be fixed in trunk. Geez, $startdir.

The directory is not there, and errors are back.

/var/state/dhclient/ is included into the package. Have a look at the file list of the package details: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/dhclient/
And in the PKGBUILD the /var/state/dhclient/ directory is given as the lease file directory.

So should I ignore:

Feb 2 10:10:13 localhost dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-7fcd578b-0665-4cc2-8627-061b26cc4118-wlan0.lease: No such file or directory

messages in my /var/log/errors.log?

Is there /var/state vs /var/lib confusion going on here?
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Monday, 15 October 2012, 03:54 GMT
Is this still a problem?
Comment by Mariusz Libera (mar04) - Monday, 15 October 2012, 09:22 GMT
For some reasons I'm no longer using Arch, so can't tell.
