[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#780768: network-manager: build up of dhcp*.lease files in /var/lib/NetworkManager: have hundreds, expect 2

[Joshua]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Trying to debug malfunctioning internet.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Tried to determine live lease by reading dhclient lease file. Found hundreds of files.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Had difficulty identifying active file due to large number of files with untypable names.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

2 files: dhclient-eth1.lease and dhclient6-eth1.lease

(the fact that's eth1 instead of eth0 is a minor bug in udev)
