Bug#708811: most problems fixed. dhcp server still not functioning
Well, the thought involved in writing the upgrade report was helpful.
It forced me to sit and think while waiting for a reply. Even without a
reply, that helped.
I did some more hacking. Of course I should have tried apt-get -f
install. That indeed fixed most of the problems. But didn't get the
dhcp server to work.
Now the dhcp I was running turned out to date back to etch. Just
possibly it was too out-of-date to work any more.
But installing the current isc-dhcp-server doesn't work either.
running /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start
gives me a FAILED message with a request to look up details in syslog.
But /etc/var/syslog hasn't been updated for two days. What's wrong
here? Should I be looking elsewhere for the log messages from the
dhcp server?
