[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#587884: isc-dhcp-client: Tries to use invalid path for IPv6 leases file

[Jason White]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-5
Severity: normal

can't create /var/db/dhclient6.leases: No such file or directory

This should be created in the /var/lib/dhcp directory by default, as with IPv4.

I hope it's a simple compile-time option or patch.
