One reason could be that the device bpf(4) is not built into the
kernel you are using.  (This device is part of the GENERIC kernel, so
if you have not compiled a custom kernel, the problem is due to
something else.)  See [Handbook, 23.5.7].

Perhaps the file does not exist.  `dhcpd' needs this file to start ---
see dhcpd.leases(5).  Do

        touch /var/db/dhcpd.leases

before the first run of `dhcpd'.
