For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.1-6+lenny6 of the dhcp3 package. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze3 of the isc-dhcp package. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your ISC DHCP packages.
