Description Chapman Flack 2014-01-18 06:14:39 UTC

The metadata.xml for dnsmasq describes the dhcp USE flag like this:

<flag name='dhcp'>Enable support for reading ISC DHCPd lease files</flag>

There is no such support. There used to be, but dnsmasq's CHANGELOG says it went away for good in 2.46. What the dhcp USE flag does is turn on HAVE_DHCP which is defined, in config.h, only to control whether dnsmasq's own DHCPv4 server gets built. Nothing to do with reading ISC lease files at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Confirmable by reading metadata.xml, CHANGELOG, and src/config.h

This was fixed awhile ago.
