Description Richard W.M. Jones 2017-10-11 11:38:26 UTC

Description of problem:

dhcp used to depend on initscripts, but that was removed in
bug 1098172.

We build a minimal Fedora-based appliance.  We run ‘dhclient eth0’
to bring up the network interface.  This has recently broken:

+ dhclient --version
+ dhclient eth0
/usr/sbin/dhclient-script: line 813: cd: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory

/usr/sbin/dhclient-script: line 813: cd: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: No such file or directory

grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory


initscripts used to be pulled in as a dependency of something else,
but now initscripts is no longer pulled in, and that appears to break
dhclient.

Looking at dhclient-script, it still has plenty of dependencies on
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts from initscripts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dhcp-client-4.3.5-9.fc26.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a minimal Fedora appliance, including dhcp-client but not initscripts.
2. Run dhclient eth0.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-10-11 12:06:03 UTC

So I originally thought that these messages were the problem
causing dhcp to fail.  However it turns out that the real problem
was libvirt not properly setting up the network (even dhcpcd could
not bring up the network).  I fixed this by upgrading libvirt ...
