After consideration, we're not going to prioritize fixing this for the EE release (in other words, the Canonical Foundations time isn't going to be actively working on fixing this). It doesn't mean the bug won't be fixed, just that there is no company work assigned to the bug.
For now, there's a patch attached, it looks pretty good to me; but I think it would be best to have that added to Debian first (so it lands in both Debian and Ubuntu). Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs for more info on how you can submit the patch to Debian (it would be nice if you could do it, that way you would get credited for it too). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to isc-dhcp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543799 Title: isc-dhcp-server & isc-dhcp-server6 systemd service units use the same RuntimeDirectory leading to loss of pid files Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in isc-dhcp source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in isc-dhcp source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in isc-dhcp source package in Cosmic: Triaged Status in isc-dhcp source package in Disco: Triaged Bug description: dhcpd reports 'Can't create PID file /run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid' (or '/run/dhcp-server/dhcpd6.pid' for isc-dhcp-server6), and no file is found /run/dhcp-server. Additionally, both isc-dhcp-server & isc-dhcp-server6 service unit files specify the RuntimeDirectory 'dhcp-server', which is removed when either unit stops (and thus would wipe out the other unit's pid file, were it being successfully written).
