Bug Description

I just ran an 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'. The upgrade failed on the isc-dhcp-client package. I've tried 'apt-get install -f' and it fails, as well. Here's the output:

user@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

To reproduce (as of 30 minutes ago):
1. Run 'apt-get update'
2. Run 'apt-get upgrade'. This should give the error I experienced.
3. 'apt-get install -f' returns the same error.
