My netboots were failing with the same error ("Only absolute filenames
allowed"). Before the upgrade, tftpd was run by inetd, and I had
specified "-s /var/lib/tftpboot".
After the upgrade, it was a standalone daemon, and
/etc/default/tftpd-hpa contained:
# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS=""
Note there was no -s or --secure in TFTP_OPTIONS, and the directory
had "silently" been changed from what I had used in /etc/inetd.conf.
Even after running "dpkg-reconfigure tftpd-hpa", the question about
additional options said "leave it at the recommended default value",
but the text dialog was empty -- I had to type in "--secure" myself.
At the very least, a NEWS file explaining the changes would have been
a good idea.
