[PATCH] RHEL7 patch fixing the issue none

Description Jirka Klimes 2014-09-03 12:04:02 UTC 
DHCP client exits abnormally when run by NetworkManager and thus the connection
cannot be properly activated.

The error can be triggered by restarting systemd-journald. After doing that,
DHCP client will not start properly, but exits with:
  <info> (enp0s25): DHCPv4 client pid 13959 exited with status -1
  <warn> DHCP client died abnormally

See upstream bug for details:

Hi,

This bug is hitting us pretty hard. Is the -35 rpm (or srpm) available somewhere?
