[Bug 1448657] Re: isc-dhcp-server: Can't create PID file /run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied

[Jason Hunter]

I don't understand how this bug can just stand open? It's not even
assigned? I'm even seeing this in 15.10. Why are things like this not
being fixed? If Rahaels file is working, then why isn't it included when
I apt upgrade?
