We're having the same problem running dhcpd under trusty.  As a
workaround, if we make the file attribute changes in #25, is this the
only thing that needs to be done?  Can we also change chown root:root to
dhcpd:dhcpd for /var/lib/dhcp/* in isc-dhcp-server.conf, too?

Thanks.

Title:
  isc-dhcp-server fails to renew lease file

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in isc-dhcp source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After raring upgrade, the dhcp server fails to renew lease file when
  it tries to (about every hour).

  The syslog says:
  dhcpd: Can't create new lease file: Permission denied

  It looks like a permission problem, because

  # chown -R dhcpd:dhcpd /var/lib/dhcp

  the above command temporarily solves the issue, until dhcpd is
  restarted: at that time, the ownership of the directory and the lease
  file is set back to root:root.
