[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#837932: dhclient: man page describe -n option, but it seems it doesn't exist

[Diego Roversi]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.3.1-6+deb8u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


  man page of dhclient describe this option:
  
         -n     Do not configure any interfaces.  This is most likely
to be useful in combination with the -w flag.

  but it's not implemented:
  
  dhclient -n eth0
