Re: dhcp breakage
In the previous version of dhcp(c)d, I had created a NMU with some
changes to make the checksum calculation correct. (Basically,
sizeof(ether_header) turned out 16 instead of 14 due to alignment
stuff).
I filed a bug report to the maintainer. Perhaps that got lost. I
will redo the change and submit another NMU tonight. (If that's
still the problem...)
