Subject: [gentoo-user] Spurious error messages at boot up from the new dhcpcd
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2023 09:56:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZOSGZDqco6smLrg9@ACM> (raw)

Hello, gentoo.

With the new dhcpcd-10.0.2 (previous version being ?9.5.1) I get spurious
error messages on boot up.  In particular, I see this:

 * Starting DHCP Client Daemon ...
 * [ ok ] * Bringing up interface enp38s0
 *   Caching network module dependencies
 *   config_enp38s0 not specified; defaulting to DHCP
 *   dhcp ...
 *     The dhcpcd version is too old. Please upgrade.
 *     [ !! ] * ERROR: net.enp38s0 failed to start

..  However, after ~1 hour searching for the problem, I just tried using
enp38s0 to ssh onto my ISP, and it worked.  In /var/log/messages, I see
the following:

Aug 22 09:24:29 ACM /etc/init.d/net.enp38s0[2527]: ERROR: net.enp38s0 failed to start

..

So it would appear that everything is working, but I still get error
messages.  The "dhcpcd version is too old" is particularly galling, given
that dhcpcd was updated yesterday.

Could anybody suggest how I might get further with this problem?  Thanks!
