Public bug reported: dhcpd reports 'Can't create PID file /run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid' (or '/run/dhcp-server/dhcpd6.pid' for isc-dhcp-server6), and no file is found /run/dhcp-server.
Additionally, both isc-dhcp-server & isc-dhcp-server6 service unit files specify the RuntimeDirectory 'dhcp-server', which is removed when either unit stops (and thus would wipe out the other unit's pid file, were it being successfully written).
