[Kea-users] Unable to re-allocate address

[Gordon Ross]

I'm running Kea 1.8.2 using the Postgres lease database backend on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Devices can get a new IPv4 address fine. But when they try to renew their address, it fails and the logs show:

ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_ERROR [hwtype=1 00:21:55:02:67:14], cid=[01:00:21:55:02:67:14], tid=0x58cd: error during attempt to allocate an IPv4 address: unable to update lease for address 172.18.5.4 as it does not exist

If I delete the entry from the leases table, Kea then happily re-issues the address. (I can perform the DELETE as the Kea DB user so no permissions problems there)

I saw an earlier post about an error in Kea 1.8 & HA, but I'm not running HA at the moment - and I'm on a later version of Kea.

Is this bug still outstanding in 1.8.2?

Thank you,

Gordon
