[Bug 613414] Re: package dhcp3-server 3.1.3-2ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

[Thierry Carrez]

Stop action in prerm fails when sourcing the /etc/default/dhcp3-server file, so I suppose its contents is broken. I'd remove it, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server" to recreate it, then try to remove the package.
See:
