Public bug reported:
As with upgrade from oneiric to precise I have discovered that there is
new upstart job for isc-dhcp-server which is a minimal "carbon copy" of
sysv init.d script, and missing major system deps from other services.
Testing it shows that upstart job for isc-dhcp-server indeed is
incomplete, for example any lxc container starts before isc-dhcp-server,
and fails to complete startup because can not get assigned address (I
mean config with lxc-net disabled and br0 configured).
Being configured to read configuration via ldap service (isc-dhcp-
server-ldap) it starts before slapd and exits without awaiting to start
slapd. With a bunch of dependencies between nscd, nslcd, slapd, named,
autofs-ldap, lxc - isc-dhcp-server upstart script looks like incomplete
and incorrect, since does not reflect its dependency on any valuable
system event or condition, to which real dependants refer.
Since writing an upstart job script needs careful and complex testing on
compatibility with other system services, its better to
revert this upstart job to sysv script back, atleast for testing and/or
establishing its dependencies.
I have tried to figure out this upstart dependency on my configuration
but was unsuccessful, because isc-dhcp-server upstart job needs that
dependency expressed in upstart jobs from other services, whose init
scripts are still sysv, and depends on sysv services. So a correct
rewrite indeed means rewrite all the services starting into upstart, not
only isc-dhcp-server.
So, please, revert isc-dhcp-server back to sysv, or provide correct
startup code.
