Affected version 2.3.2 (bug introduced in 2.3.2)

Also see #6543

This also just happened to me. There is more info when analyzing the stderr output from awk, or running the sed/awk command manually against the dhcpd6.leases file. For example:

awk: weird printf conversion %\000!\000\001\000\001\023\306\276\177\000\031\333\366\350\024" {
 input record number 1, file 
 source line number 1
awk: not enough args in printf(ia-na "\220%\000!\000\001\000\001\023\306\276\177\000\031\333\366\350\024" {)
 input record number 1, file 
 source line number 1

I'm not sure of the original intent of #6543, but it appears by using the print function instead of printf in the first part of the awk expression, this corrects the issue with "weird printf conversion". However, the awk command still wouldn't join leases into a single line for me.

As a suggestion, it appears the issue in this case is the % must be escaped before the awk printf (which is necessary to remove the trailing newline and join the lines into one). Adding an additional sed command of s,%,%%,g; seems to help in this case and I can view the content of the attached leases file in the status page.

If it breaks for you, please include the relevant portions of dhcpd6.leases that break it, or the entire file if possible. It works for many people, but given the wide variety of systems out there, plenty of edge cases exist where the format of the leases file might not parse as expected, so having the source data to fix the parser is crucial.

were the files I uploaded any help or is something more needed?

does reverting this commit in 2.3.3 with a patch (i dont know how) fix this its really annoying not having this populated

This is a regression

upgraded hardware due to c2000 restored config and this now works so guess somethin in my dhcp6 leases file had a problem maybe just delete file and see if it fixes problem
