Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.3-2 Severity: important Hi,
The changelog for "isc-dhcp (4.3.3-2) unstable" says: "* Use default paths for lease files." I don't know what the actual change was here, but the result is that dhcpd expects the lease file to live in /var/db/dhcpd.leases, which is not where the lease file was before and is not policy compliant. Policy aside, it breaks the startup, since the init script still touches /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases. Note: # grep leases /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server touch /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases # strings $(which dhcpd)|grep -F .leases /var/db/dhcpd6.leases /var/db/dhcpd.leases The change in git simply removes the configure options for --with-srv and --with-cli lease, noting that it fixes bug 758882. I don't see how that will fix r/w files in /var, since the default lease files are still in /var. Please investigate and update the change. The server lease file was in the right place, the client one might need to be put somewhere else, but right now the fix breaks more than it solves. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.6-ruru0 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.57 ii debianutils 4.5.1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libdns-export100 1:9.9.5.dfsg-12 ii libisc-export95 1:9.9.5.dfsg-12 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian14 ii policycoreutils 2.3-1 Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server recommends: ii isc-dhcp-common 4.3.3-2 Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server suggests: pn isc-dhcp-server-ldap <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf changed [not included] /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/isc-dhcp-server [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/isc-dhcp-server' -- debconf information: * isc-dhcp-server/interfaces: isc-dhcp-server/config_warn:
