If that is really the case, the list information in the mail header
should be updated, too.

Finally, here is the solution to this problem:
Don't emerge dhcpcd with the 'debug' USE flag.

Thanks to the friendly helper at the gentoo web forum.

But the boot process stops, and I can't work with my gentoo box. It does
not with the old version. So something is broken, maybe my configs,
maybe the ebuild.

OK, I tried again. I do get an IP, I can connect to the internet, but
the dhcpcd-process does not finish. In a working gentoo environment that
 is not a big problem, but while booting, this is bad.

This is the output I get:

Then the output stops, but I don't get a prompt. :(

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for that suggestion, I will try later.

I am using ifplugd, but when the cable is not connected, it tries to
start my wifi connection with dhcp...

Thanks for that hint, too. :)

According to  , it
isn't anymore, at least for amd64, x86 and sparc. ;)

On my local system, it ist masked through the package.mask file now.

[gentoo-user] dhcpcd 2.0.0 - Boot process hangs

2005-08-31 Thread Christoph Daldrup 
Hello Gentoo-Users,

I've recently done an "emerge -tuvD world" and dhcpcd was updated from
version dhcpcd-1.3.22_p4-r11 to version 2.0.0. The emerge went fine, no
error message, no note to update config-files, everything seemed to be fine.

But at the next reboot, I wasn't able to get an IP adress, and the boot
process hanged at that stage. The last thing shown looked like the MAC
adress, although I'm not sure on that.
The only thing I could do to get my working gentoo back was booting with
knoppix, chrooting and going back to the old version of dhcpcd.

Now everything works fine with the old version again, but I'd like to
know if that is a bug or if I've done something wrong.

TIA
Christoph

An "emerge portage" should be fine.

No real solution to your problem, but maybe you should wait for 1.7.11
to be released since 1.7.10 contains some really annoying bugs regarding
the mailnews component.
