Bug Description
If isc-dhcp-server can not be started it blocks further upgrades, leaving the system in an inconsistent state.
isc-dhcp-server upgrade shall instead ignore such an error like "could not start" and not stop upgrades on such errors.

There are cases where this server is installed, but not started --- just as a hot backup for a running dhcp-server maybe.
