Control: severity -1 grave Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.1-5 Followup-For: Bug #760170
I encountered this bug recently. This seems very similar, if not
identical to #755834. A package failing to install without
preconfiguration seems to warrant release-critical bug status...
In order to reproduce, I re-installed a clean jessie system using
debian-installer and only installed the standard package set. On first
boot, I installed isc-dhcp-server, and it still failed to install:
root@test-isc-dhcp-server:~# apt-get -f install

I also confirmed that the problem isn't systemd specific by installing
sysvinit-core and rebooting, but the same problem persists, with the
