Public bug reported: We have a MAAS installation that was installed with original precise MAAS (0.1+bzr482+dfsg-0ubuntu1) that was using the system (ISC) dhcpd.
When we upgraded it to the SRU MAAS (1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1~12.04.1), it unconditionally¹ disabled the ISC dhcpd by shipping a '/etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.override' file. The next time the isc-dhcp-server package was upgraded, our dhcpd stopped and didn't start back up. AFAIK (and the docs appear to confirm this), running MAAS with your own DHCP server is a supported configuration, so it seems like the upgrade process could be a little more flexible. -- ¹ At least, I can't see anything in the maintainer scripts or debconf stuff that would mean this file is ever not installed on upgrade. ** Affects: maas (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227252 Title: Upgrade from precise to precise SRU maas unconditionally disabled system DHCP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1227252/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
