Bug Description
In a clean Ubuntu 11.10 server install, dhclient3 is run with a configuration parameter that instructs it to write lease files in the "/var/lib/dhcp3". That directory is missing in the install, thus no lease file is written.
# ps ax | grep dhclient3 | grep -v grep
665 ? Ss 0:00 dhclient3 -e IF_METRIC=100 -pf /var/run/
# ls -l /var/lib/ | grep dhcp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-12-30 16:24 dhcp
(no dhcp3 dir!)
# ls -l /var/lib/dhcp/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2011-12-30 16:24 dhclient.leases
