Description Hubert Mercier 2012-08-31 07:48:36 UTC

Hi.

Currently the dhcpcd package' ebuild has an empty RDEPEND variable.

But, in order to make hostname acquired from the DHCP server, the /lib64/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/29-lookup-hostname script uses "dig", which is part from net-dns/bind-tools.

Maybe this package should be added as a required dependency of dhcpcd ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to get hostname from server with dhcpcd if bind-tools is not installed
Actual Results:  
getting hostname fails, system defaults to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 equivalent
