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 09:24:20 ACM dhcpcd[2435]: dhcpcd-10.0.2 starting Aug 22 09:24:20 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: dev: loaded udev Aug 22 09:24:20 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: DUID 00:01:00:01:20:97:45:37:60:45:cb:9c:5b:d6 Aug 22 09:24:20 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: waiting for carrier Aug 22 09:24:22 ACM kernel: igb 0000:26:00.0 enp38s0: igb: enp38s0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX Aug 22 09:24:23 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: carrier acquired Aug 22 09:24:23 ACM kernel: IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): enp38s0: link becomes ready Aug 22 09:24:23 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: IAID cb:9c:5b:d6 Aug 22 09:24:24 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: rebinding lease of 192.168.178.86 Aug 22 09:24:24 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: probing address 192.168.178.86/24 Aug 22 09:24:28 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: leased 192.168.178.86 for 864000 seconds Aug 22 09:24:28 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: adding route to 192.168.178.0/24 Aug 22 09:24:28 ACM dhcpcd[2437]: enp38s0: adding default route via 192.168.178.1 Aug 22 09:24:29 ACM /etc/init.d/net.enp38s0[2686]: config_enp38s0 not specified; defaulting to DHCP Aug 22 09:24:29 ACM /etc/init.d/net.enp38s0[2695]: The dhcpcd version is too old.

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?
