Summary:	net-misc/dhcp - pkg_config() doesn't seed chroot with library dependencies

Description Daniel Keyhani 2008-02-12 19:05:22 UTC

Needed libraries are missing from the automatically set-up chroot environment for dhcpd. This leads to an inability of a chrooted dhcpd to resolve hostnames. This breaks configurations where hostnames are used in the dhcpd.conf, rather than IP addresses.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dhcp
2. edit /etc/conf.d/dhcpd and uncomment DHCPD_CHROOT
3. emerge --config dhcp
4. use hostnames/FQDNs in dhcpd.conf

Actual Results:  
dhcpd is unable to resolve hostnames - router and nameserver IPs are not given to clients, fixed-addr matching is broken if hostnames are used.

Expected Results:  
Normal operation.

it's not really possible to calculate all the libs that will be needed considering glibc allows for multiplexed behavior with nsswitch.conf ...
