Title:
  isc-dhcp-server blocks upgrades if it can not be started

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If isc-dhcp-server can not be started it blocks further upgrades, leaving the system in an inconsistent state.
  isc-dhcp-server upgrade shall instead ignore such an error like "could not start" and not stop upgrades on such errors.
