[Bug 1003971] Re: on upgrade lucid -> precise /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server is not migrated

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package isc-dhcp - 4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5.1

---------------
isc-dhcp (4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Set -pf option for both isc-dhcp-server and isc-dhcp-server6 so they
    create their pid files in a path that's actually writable. (LP: #985417)
  * Also allow read access to the pid file in the apparmor profile,
    otherwise only the initial start succeeds. (LP: #1005062)
  * On upgrade from dhcp3-server, move /etc/default/dhcp3-server to
    /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server. (LP: #1003971)
  * On upgrade from dhcp3-relay, remove /etc/default/dhcp3-relay.
    (LP: #1005547)
  * Try to preseed isc-dhcp-relay with the values from
    /etc/default/dhcp3-relay. (LP: #1005547)

Title:
  on upgrade lucid -> precise /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server is not
  migrated

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “isc-dhcp” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When upgrading from lucid->precise the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file is
  correctly migrated to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, but the settings in
  /etc/default/dhcp3-server are not migrated to /etc/default/isc-dhcp-
  server.  This leads to the service losing its interface specifications
  potentially allowing it to serve addresses on the wrong interfaces.
  Bad.

  ----

  [rational]
  Config file isn't migrated, leading to duplicate configuration files and lost settings.

  [test case]
  1) Install dhcp3-server on Ubuntu 10.04
  2) Edit /etc/default/dhcp3-server and change INTERFACES to point to eth0 (for example)
  3) (ugly trick) manually update /etc/apt/sources.list to point to precise and include precise-proposed
  4) sudo apt-get update
  5) sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server (a full dist-upgrade won't work, but selective upgrade of just dhcp3-server will work)
  6) Ensure that dhcpd is running, that /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server contains the change you did pre-upgrade and that /etc/default/dhcp3-server no longer exists

  [regression potential]
  If the previous configuration was broken, the new one will be broken too, but that's really what you'd expect from an upgrade...
