[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#750545: isc-dhcp-client: patch for "parse_option_param: Bad format a" error

[Ron]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.2.4-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

Please consider applying this patch, and/or getting it properly
upstreamed if possible.

https://github.com/Rogentos/rogentos-enterprise/blob/master/net-misc/dhcp/files/dhcp-4.2.1-dhclient-parse_option_param-Bad-format-a.patch

I'm seeing this error here with the jessie client being fed by
a wheezy server:

  # ifdown eth0; sleep 2; ifup eth0
