Package: isc-dhcp-server-ldap
Version: 4.4.1-2.1+b2
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: debian-edu
Dear Maintainer,
while working on Debian Edu Bullseye, I noticed that the DHCP service
stopped working after upgrading the system.
Reason seems to be that the init script timed out, maybe
/etc/default/isc-dhcp-server could not be sourced:
root@tjener:~# service isc-dhcp-server status
