Package: kea-dhcp4-server
Version: 1.4.0.P1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate
***
* What led up to the situation?
After installing kea-dhcp4-server via "apt install -y kea-dhcp4-server",
launching kea-dhcp4-server via systemctl makes it crash : the critical part
is that it cannot put its leases in /var/kea since the directory does not
exist.
The other part (whose error message hides the critical error above) is that
it cannot get a handle on the interprocess sync lockfile, since the
directory which it tries to initialize it in, /var/run/kea does not exist.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
~# mkdir /var/kea
Allows kea to start, displaying messages about the interprocess lockfile.
~# mkdir /var/run/kea
Allows kea to use the interprocess lockfile (but without the other
directory kea crashes).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Installing kea-dhcp4-server and it being able to start with the default
configuration.
* Traces of the execution
~# systemctl start kea-dhcp4-server && journalctl -xe
