Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.3.0+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

with systemd installed, isc-dhcp-server fails to install because starting the
daemon fails. This must have worked (in the sense that the postinst script 
succeeded) with sysvinit as I have the same (non-)setup of isc-dhcp-server
since ages. It's only installed because it is a dependency of fai-quickstart.
So the bug might need to be reassigned to systemd.


Setting up isc-dhcp-server (4.3.0+dfsg-1) ...
Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed. See 'systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript isc-dhcp-server, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package isc-dhcp-server (--configure):
....

# cat /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
# Defaults for dhcp initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/dhcp
# installed at /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server by the maintainer scripts

# This is a POSIX shell fragment

# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
#       Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACES=""

The config file /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf is identical to what's shipped in the
package (apart from commented lines)
