[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#859400: isc-dhcp-server: dhcp-lease-list command fails to execute

[Jamshid Karimi]

Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.3.5-3
Severity: normal

Package: isc-dhcp-server 4.3.1-6+deb8u2
Platform: Debian 8.7 (jessie)
Severity: normal

Running dhcp-lease-list with no option is supposed to parse the stats file
dhcpd.leases in the /var/lib/dhcp/ directory. Instead, the command fails with
the following error message:

Cannot open /var/db/dhcpd.leases: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/dhcp-
lease-list line 69

The error is due to discrepancy between stats file path as stated in the script
and the actual location on the system. Modifying the line will resolve the
issue:

my $LEASES = '/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases';
