Package: isc-dhcp-server-ldap
Version: 4.2.4-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
  I've previously used isc-dhcp-server-ldap in Squeeze, and I am evaluating Wheezy
and cut/pasted ldap configuration identical to my Squeeze setup.  I get errors
when parsing some options in the config.  ie:

--------------
# /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start

dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.
The error was: 
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.2.2
Copyright 2004-2011 Internet Systems Consortium.
All rights reserved.
For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf line 110: semicolon expected.
ldap-ssl ldaps;
          ^
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf line 111: semicolon expected.
ldap-tls-reqcert never;
                  ^
Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
-------------------------

I upgraded from the Wheezy to the Sid version only to have
ALL the ldap options give this error instead of only two.

The configuration I pasted to the end of my config is as
follows :

ldap-server "server.hostname.org";
ldap-port 636;
ldap-ssl ldaps;
ldap-tls-reqcert never;
ldap-username "cn=admin,dc=hostname,dc=org";
ldap-password xxxxx;
ldap-base-dn "dc=hostname,dc=org";
ldap-method dynamic;
ldap-debug-file "/var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log";
ldap-ssl ldaps;
