[Bug 363060] Re: package dhcp3-server 3.1.1-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127

[Thierry Carrez]

There apparently were some leftovers from a previous dhcp3-server installation. The error in the logs is:
/etc/default/dhcp3-server: 1: auto: not found


Apparently something was set in the old /etc/default/dhcp3-server that prevents successful install/startup. Could you attach your /etc/default/dhcp3-server file ?

Purging existing config files and reinstalling should fix the issue:
$ sudo apt-get purge dhcp3-server
$ sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server


** Changed in: dhcp3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
