after upgrading dhcpcd, when I run it on my wireless interface, it claims to be configuring an ipv4 address

yet when it finally forks to the background, and I call ifconfig, I ONLY SEE IPV6 ADDRESSES. also I am NOT connected to the network.
is this a bug in dhcpcd?

I'm not seeing the dhcp server IP. Is this the output from "dhcpcd -d" (verbose/debug)?

OKAY...I've done some investigating and I think I've figured out something related to the problem I'm having.
the way that I was starting my network was
1. calling wpa_supplicant -i[myinterfacename] -c[myconfig]
and waiting for a wireless connection
2. calling dhcpcd [myinterfacename]
to configure the routing table
NOTE: I was NOT using systemd
for whatever reason, the dhcpcd service was calling its own instance of wpa_supplicant, and also deleting the routing table every time it called /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks ROUTERADVERT
I don't know why it was starting it's own instance of wpa_supplicant but my suspicion is that this error has something to do with the /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks script

basically with dhcpcd in its current state, it seems that it DOES NOT WORK if wpa_supplicant is already running or has been started by another process. This is because there are hooks from dhcpcd that are used to start wpa_supplicant on all wireless interfaces autonomously. I'm going to file a bug report because this doesn't work with my system and wasn't given any warning about this. This doesn't seem right...for instance, what if your wpa_supplicant.conf file is not stored in the location that's hardcoded into the script? seems weird to me

Well, I use dhcpcd with netctl (which starts wpa_supplicant _before_ dhcpcd)
and see no problems... I haven't looked at the dhcpcd source to see whether
dhcpcd actually checks if wpa_supplicant is active and sets $ifwireless to 0,
but I _think_ that wpa_supplicant just errs out if another instance of itself
is running on the interface, so 10-wpa_supplicant hook shouldn't matter.
I'd try 2 things:
1. Run dhcpcd with "-C 10-wpa_supplicant" (with wpa_supplicant already running)
to see if the ipv4 IP is obtained.
2. Reboot with "ipv6.disable=1" in the kernel cmdline. This will disable ipv6
entirely...

Hey thanks for the response/suggestions
It works fine when I allow dhcpcd to start wpa_supplicant for me. No, dhcpcd does not check to see if wpa_supplicant is already running (I think that it should). The instance of wpa_supplicant that it is started by dhcpcd looks for the config file at /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (which is a hardcoded location), I don't usually keep my config there, but I guess that's a separate issue.
The main issue is that if there are two instances of wpa_supplicant running, with dhcpcd, they interfere with each other, and dhcpcd deletes the ip it gets from the router right after it obtains it.
dhcpcd deletes the routing table right after it forks, that's why evidence of it deleting everything wasn't showing up in teh logs above.
This thread should be closed though. How do I close it?
