Bug#910671: kea-dhcp4-server: Missing /var/kea and /var/run/kea
Hi Baptiste,
Apologies for this, but I fixed this bug months ago. I am somewhat new at
maintaining a package, and apparently I failed to do something to get the
debian build system to pickup the changes for P1-4 and P1-5. I will figure
out how to do this critical step, and make sure it gets pushed to Sid. I am
starting to package 1.5, and wanted to make sure 1.4 was moved to
testing but I have to first make sure it is actually pushed to Sid
first. :(
Thanks
Jason

Thanks for sharing Martin. In 1.3 I had all the directories defined
correctly, but we made a bunch of changes and I thought I fixed all of the
directories in 1.4, but you are correct, the localstatedir SHOULD be
/var/lib/kea, which should be created during the install. I will take a
look over the weekend, and fix this.
Cheers,
Jason

Bug#910671: kea-dhcp4-server: Missing /var/kea and /var/run/kea
I temporarily fixed this using systemd-tmpfiles:
# cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/kea.conf
#Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument
d /run/kea 0755 root root - -
# systemd-tmpfiles --create
Instead of using /var/kea I used /var/lib/kea which existed from before
the upgrade.
Set a "name", actually a path, for your lease-database:
"lease-database": {
// Memfile is the simplest and easiest backend to use. It's a
in-memory
// C++ database that stores its state in CSV file.
"type": "memfile",
"lfc-interval": 3600,
"name": "/var/lib/kea/dhcp4.leases"
},
Best regards

Bug#910671: kea-dhcp4-server: Missing /var/kea and /var/run/kea
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 Oct 09 16:39:22 sidtesting systemd[1]: Started ISC KEA IPv4 DHCP daemon. -- Subject: Unit kea-dhcp4-server.service has finished start-up -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: https://www.debian.org/support -- -- Unit kea-dhcp4-server.service has finished starting up. -- -- The start-up result is RESULT.
