dhcpcd fails with coredump

Hi,

my dhcpcd usually fails during boot.  The journal will always contain lines like these:

But I can always successfully start dhcpcd manually:

# systemctl start dhcpcd

Then dhcpcd runs, networkbecomes available, although I continue to see entries like

Apr 29 10:41:19 second dhcpcd[419]: enp0s3: DHCPv6 REPLY: in stateless mode

in the journal.

Any suggestions what to look for?

I can reproduce this problem on my notebook, and on a VirtualBox freshly installed.

Re: dhcpcd fails with coredump

I am also having this issue. I've tried 7.0.2-1 and 7.0.1-1. Both segfault on boot but run fine when manually started again after login.
Last working version is 6.11.5-1 for me.

Re: dhcpcd fails with coredump

This may be related to a fixed known bug [1].  The version 7.0.1 in the ArchLinux repo is outdated (and flagged).

I have installed 7.0.2 from the testing repo, which did not solve the problem, and also 7.0.3 from the upstream git repo [2].  The latter solved the problem.

Re: dhcpcd fails with coredump

This seems to be fixed with dhcpcd 7.0.4 available from [testing].  I still get come lines like

May 03 09:02:57 second dhcpcd[321]: enp0s3: DHCPv6 REPLY: in stateless mode

in the journal, but thats probably my bad configuation (help appreciated).

Re: dhcpcd fails with coredump

I am still having segfaults with dhcpcd 7.0.4 at boot and also later on:

[   96.358414] dhcpcd[448]: segfault at 8 ip 000055db28419cbb sp 00007ffd9c4d0258 error 4 in dhcpcd[55db2840e000+4a000]
