Did you run 'emerge --config =net-misc/dhcp-3.0.3-r2' as instructed to by the
ebuild?

Yes same thing with emerge --config. I had a chroot already set up before
upgrading and nothing went wrong. The problem has appeared after upgrading from
r1 to r2 release, which changed the init.d script.

Bug reopened, I think the problem resides in the init.d script.

Attempt to fix issue

Could the reporter please test this patch. If it doesn't work, then please
attach your full dhcpd.conf

Another patch

This one should fix regardless

After the patch, the server start but it has 2 problems.

1) It doesn't create the right "/chroot/dhcp/var/lib/dhcp/dhcp.leases" files,
instead it creates "/var/lib/dhcp/dhcp.leases;" (yes with the semicolon, I
think this error comes from a bad read of the dhcpd.conf).

2) It can't stop mys server anymore with the error: "No /usr/sbin/dhcpd found
running; none killed.". I tried also to create a usr/sbin dir under the chroot
dir with a copy of the dhcpd binary, I'm getting always the same error.

My general section of dhcpd.conf:

## General options
lease-file-name "/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases";
pid-file-name "/var/run/dhcp/dhcpd.pid";
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
ignore client-updates;
log-facility local7;

I have also one subnet declaration but I think this should be enough to help.

New init file

OK, here's the my full init file (easier than patching from your end).

It should fix both your problems, but you may need to zap the script and kill
the dhcpd process manually until the script successfully starts.

Problems solved, bug fixed. Status changed to WORKSFORME. Thank you.

Re-opening until the script hits portage

Fixed in dhcp-3.0.3-r3
