Hello Lars, this is indicating that the dhcpd service is trying to use
root's capability to bypass permissions to use this file. I suggest
checking the owner, group, and permissions of all directories and the
lease file. (namei -l /test/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases can be handy
for this.)

If all those owners and permissions are as you intended and you want the
dhcpd service to use root powers to access the file, then you'll also need
to modify the profile to allow the dhcpd daemon to use the dac_override:

  capability dac_override,

Thanks

Title:
  isc-dhcp-server can't load leases file with apparmor enabled

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I can't start isc-dhcp-server with apparmor enabled.

  I set a custom leases file in the dhcpd.conf:
   lease-file-name "/test/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases";

  and created a custom apparmor profile for that in 
/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.dhcpd:
  /test/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd{,6}.leases* lrw,

  But when I try to start I see the following errors from dhcpd:

  Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.3.5

  All rights reserved.
  For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/

  exiting.

  
  And in the messages log I can see errors like this:

  After disabling apparmor for dhcpd everything works as expected:

  ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
  apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd
