[SOLVED] dhcpcd-10.0.2-1 is not working correctly

cdop

dhcpcd-10.0.2-1 is failing to acquire an address and continuously litters /var/log/66/dhcpcd-custom/current with the following over and over again:

2023-09-25 14:42:25.109708889  dhcpcd-10.0.2 starting

Workaround is to downgrade to 10.0.1-2.

My /etc/66/service/dhcpcd-custom follows:

[main]
@type = classic
@version = 0.2.0
@description = "dhcpcd daemon"
@user = ( root )
@options = ( log env )

[start]
@build = auto
@execute = ( execl-cmdline -s { dhcpcd ${cmd_args} } )

[stop]
@build = auto
@execute = ( execl-cmdline -s { dhcpcd ${cmd_args_stop} } )

[environment]
cmd_args=!--hostname --ipv4only --nobackground eno1
cmd_args_stop=!--exit eno1

I also detected some weirdness in the repositories since a couple of days ago, but that may be unrelated:

Anyone else having similar issues?

Just tested it on fresh install, no problem at all from my side

I also detected some weirdness in the repositories since a couple of days ago, but that may be unrelated:

This is absolutely normal. The Obarun repositories are undergoing significant changes. A brand new build automation system is in progress, and the repositories have not yet been fully migrated. It reminds me that I haven't made an announcement about this :/

cdop

My two obarun installs are anything but fresh. Nevertheless, I have the faulty dhcpcd behavior on both of them. I have them downgraded until I have more time to look deeper into this problem.

eric

To be precise, test was made on VM

cdop

Upgrading to 10.0.3 fixes the issue. It was released only a few hours ago, so it might take a couple of days to propagate all the way to obcore.
