Error reinstalling isc-dhcp-server “post installation script returned error exit status 255”
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
So I am trying to install isc-dhcp-server, but when I tried installing it, the following errors show.
$ sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
isc-dhcp-server is already the newest version (4.3.3-5ubuntu12.7).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Setting up isc-dhcp-server (4.3.3-5ubuntu12.7) ...
/sbin/restorecon: lstat(/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases) failed: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package isc-dhcp-server (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
isc-dhcp-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've tried purging it first (I am trying to reinstall it since I have an error of not connecting to upstart in DRBL). It was successfully removed but when I tried re-installing it, then that's when the errors showed up.
Tried also these commands:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then
sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
============================================
Okay, nevermind. I found my solution. I deleted all isc-dhcp-server files under /var/lib/dpkg/info/. Then re-install it again.
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/isc-dhcp-server*
sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
server apt upstart dhcp

Wow... worked for me. Thanks! I hosted my server trying to edit permissions and stuff. I was trying to clean up old leases and everything was write protected. Uninstalled and reinstalled it and nothing was working properly. This allowed me to reinstall it and tell it to overwrite or recreate the configuration files that were missing.
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/isc-dhcp-server

I want to add that after trying your solution, I had to reboot the machine to get it working properly again. I couldn't ping devices and the leases file was empty before the reboot. I obviously had to reconfigure the dhcpd.conf file with my previous settings, but all is good now! I was about to the point of reinstalling my VM. Taking a snapshot now :D
