Bug Description
Binary package hint: dhcp3-client
I booted the Ubuntu Gutsy i386 livecd on an old machine, and switched to tty1 to run dhclient, because NetworkManager apparently didn't want to bother. This uncovered a funny corner-case in dhclient:
...
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 10.0.0.1
chown: failed to get attributes of `/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
bound to 10.0.0.18 -- renewal in 18184 seconds.
...
/etc/resolv.conf was created fine, with mode 644, but owned by root:dhcp instead of root:root.
This is a very minor bug.
