runit-services (0.5.5~deb12u2) bookworm; urgency=medium

    Before version (0.5.5~deb12u2) the dhclient service was automatically enabled at package
    installation; however the service interacts badly with other network services such
    as network-manager, wicd, connman and the like, causing disruption on network setup.
    For this reason, since this version the dhclient service is shipped as disabled
    by default.
    This change is effective on new installations but for installations upgrading from old
    versions of the package, the dhclient service remains enabled.
    Unless dhclient was enabld as explicit choice of the sysadmin, (and no other service
    is used to configure the network) it's recommended to permanently disable it with

    # update-service --remove /etc/sv/dhclient

    to avoid network issues.
    Note that there are networks hooks to invoke dhclient as oneshot during network
    setup (for example during system boot), and disabling the dhclient runit service does
    not affect such hooks.
