The DHCP client currently expects to be able to create a leases file in

directory called "/var/lib/dhcp3", resulting in the following error:
can't create /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases
Correct directory naming to resolve error.

Steve: This seems to be directy reversing a change you made. The commit
message doesn't give me any idea of why you did it, can you remember?
Interesting. I made the change because I was getting quite similar
errors, but for files being created in /var/lib/dhcp3!
I'm not sure what is different about our overall set ups, but perhaps
the proper fix is to create both directories.

Hmm, note that recipes/dhcp/files/init-server uses /var/lib/dhcp as well.
dhclient from 3.1.2p1 uses /var/lib/dhcp by default. Maybe one of the
older versions used /var/lib/dhcp3 by default...
I did not spot this myself because dhclient is run from network-manager
on our system, which passes it command line arguments on where to put
the lease file.

The contents of do_compile:
do_compile() {
make RANLIB=${RANLIB}
PREDEFINES='-D_PATH_DHCPD_DB=\"/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases\" \
-D_PATH_DHCLIENT_DB=\"/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases\" \
-D_PATH_DHCLIENT_SCRIPT=\"/sbin/dhclient-script\" \
-D_PATH_DHCPD_CONF=\"/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf\" \
-D_PATH_DHCLIENT_CONF=\"/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf\"'
}
Would suggest an explicit preference to using "var/lib/dhcp". May be
there is another argument that has been missed?
