Hum... curious is that the update to lenny did not move the lease files 
under "/var/lib/dhcp3/" and kept the old path :-?

I usually tend to agree in what computers have to say and indeed, if it 
didn't find the file -while it was there- it could be a permissions issue 
with the parent folder or that the format of the old ".lease" file was 
not of its liking... who knows. But given that you already have it up and 
running I wouldn't bother about it.
