Version: 4.4.1-2
Severity: normal
Apologies if this report turns out to be a duplicate; I did look through
bugs.d.o (and those PRs listed by reportbug) but didn't find an existing
one for this issue.
The problem is that the isc-dhcp-server package installation fails in
it's last step:

This is easily fixed with "touch /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases" followed by a
