Although the description does mention potential problems with /etc/network/interfaces, it doesn't mention the solution, and this naming is confusing. Usually *-base packages are not packages meant to be installed alone. It would be clearer if the current dhcpcd package was named dhcpcd-systemd-integration (or something similar), and the current dhcpcd-base package was just dhcpcd.

The long description of the 'dhcpcd' package is very clear that it should NOT be installed if interfaces are configured using ifupdown. Purge 'dhcpcd' and only keep 'dhcpcd-base'. Martin-Éric

What fixes it, is disabling the dhcpcd service in systemd. This works even with 9.4.1: interfaces are brought up all right after boot even without this service, and can be brought down and up again later!

Package: dhcpcd Version: 9.4.1-22 Hi, With the dhcpcd shipped with Debian 12, it is no longer possible to bring an interface down and up again: ifdown eth0 ; sleep 1 ; ifup eth0 Indeed, the ifup can no longer connect to the master dhcpcd process: 2023-06-28T13:53:51.134196+02:00 build dhcpcd[572]: ps_ctl_dispatch: cannot handle another client 2023-06-28T13:53:56.138312+02:00 build dhcpcd[572]: control_free: No such file or directory According to https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd/issues/159, a bug with a similar error message is fixed in dhcpcd-9.5.0 Thanks, -- Alain Knaff Ingénieur Informaticien LE GOUVERNEMENT DU GRAND-DUCHÉ DE LUXEMBOURG Ministère de l'Environnement, du Climat et du Développement durable Administration de l'environnement 1, avenue du Rock'n'Roll .
