I'm having the same problem.

Once the apt-get install terminates, i found that i do have the dhcp_probe binary installed, but when I execute it it exits immediately with an error:

~$ sudo dhcp_probe -f eth1
note: starting, version 1.3.0
error: read_configfile: fopen(/etc/dhcp_probe.cf): No such file or directory
note: exiting
