[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#652739: Please consider adding patch from Fedora for vhost-net/virtio-net environments

[Wolfram Gloger]

I would like to second this report, also found in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/930962

This problem is likely to become much more prominent in the near future,
when vhost-net/virtio-net environments become commonplace.  I have
verified that it still occurs in current Debian:

Version: 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5

I have also verified that the Fedora patch for the latest branch

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=dhcp.git;a=blob;f=dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch;h=038d346d726e131f1ab2579fe015a72b49733a0d;hb=HEAD

applies cleanly to 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5 and fixes the problem.
Please consider adding this patch to the Debian patch set.

Thanks,
Wolfram.
