[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#781768: /sbin/dhclient: typo in debug script makes then useless

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.3.1-6
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/dhclient
Tags: patch

  Hi,

  In /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/debug and
/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/debug, there is a loop on variable name
that should be dumped in the log file. However, there is a typo so that,
currently, only the name of the variable is dumped (not its contents).
  The script has:
                        var="${prefix}${basevar}"
                        eval "content=\$var"
It should be
                        var="${prefix}${basevar}"
                        eval "content=\$$var"
(ie $var should be expanded before the protected $ do its work in the eval)

  Regards,
    Vincent
