Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-16
Severity: normal

When the -pf option has been used, the -r and -x options have no effect:

# dhclient -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid eth0
# dhclient -r
# dhclient -x

The DHCP client is still running. This means that there is no good way
to kill the DHCP client if the network needs to be restarted.
