Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tftp-hpa

I've just upgraded a rarp/bootp/tftp PXE server that hosts bootable
images for the LAN from Karmic to Lucid using:

do-release-upgrade -d

Prior to the upgrade it worked fine. After the upgrade PXE clients
report:

Only absolute filename allowed
TFTP Error - Access Violation

Running a network sniffing session I see:
