Description Rastislav Hepner 2019-10-04 13:44:55 UTC
Description of problem:
during merge of file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf by NetworkManager conditional lines do not propagate into /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-<device>.conf file any longer. It seems like regression as I can confirm it's working with NetworkManager-1.12.0-10.el7_6.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-1.18.0-5.el7.x86_64 onwards 

How reproducible:
Put conditional statements into /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and make sure NetworkManager runs dhclient.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put conditional setting into /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf 
For simplicity take example from man dhcp-eval

if not option domain-name = "example.org" {
         prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
       }

2. Make sure dhclient will run & reboot

Actual results:
/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-<device>.conf doesn't contain conditional statements from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

Expected results:
/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-<device>.conf contains all the configuration statements from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
