[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#813348: isc-dhcp-server: drop_privileges during config test fails in some cases

Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.3.3-5
Severity: minor

As part of a move to continuous integration, I am looking to add dhcpd.conf
syntax checks to our testing. as I am using travis-ci.org a quick install of
isc-dhcp-server and a quick run of `/usr/sbin/dhcpd -t -cf ./dhcpd.conf` looked
to be the easiest solution. It works fine locally but fails on Travis with
`drop_privileges: could not set group id: Operation not permitted`. Any help
would be appreciated.
