reopen 765910 thanks also sprach Debian Bug Tracking System <ow...@bugs.debian.org> [2016-02-29 00:33 +0100]: > * Touch dhcpd.leases during postinst if it doesn't exist (closes: #765910).
Thanks for tackling this issue. Unfortunately, I must have expressed myself unclearly. The fix does not solve the problem. Postinst is run at installation time. If the file is removed after installation (e.g. because /var/lib/dhcp is a tmpfs and gets cleaned on every boot), then the server won't start any longer. Presumably one might argue that software ought to be able to rely on the persistence of files in /var/lib, and I won't disagree with that. However, given the nature of the file, nonexistence is not a show-stopper at all, and instaed, the daemon itself or at least the startup mechanism should ensure the file gets created unless present.
