Title:
  errors logged with new install

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  immediately following a new install with a minimal configuration, i've
  found that two messages are logged regarding dhcpd:

  Aug 27 12:46:34 server dhcpd: Can't create PID file /run/dhcp-
  server/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied.

  Aug 27 12:46:37 honeycomb kernel: audit: type=1400
  audit(1440693994.041:11): apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable"
  profile="/usr/sbin/dhcpd" pid=10990 comm="dhcpd" capability=1
  capname="dac_override"

  while dhcpd does continue starting, and appears [given rudimentary
  testing] to operate properly, a fresh/new install of the software
  should not produce messages like this.

  here is the config being used:
  log-facility local7;
  ddns-update-style none;
  default-lease-time 43200;
  max-lease-time 86400;
  authoritative;
  subnet 172.31.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 {
  	range 172.31.0.7 172.31.0.14;
  }

  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04

  2] >apt-cache policy isc-dhcp-server

  3] i expected a new install with a basic config to not produce message like the above
  4] messages were produced
