It still fails when applying -4 switch.
I am running monolithic kernel with not IPV 6 support, and have since reverted to dhcp-3.1.1-1 with no issues.
This task depends upon

Try compiling it with configure option --disable-dhcpv6.
ipv6 support is enabled by default and the mentioned '/proc/net/if_inet6' file is available on systems with loaded ipv6 modul etc.

See configure --help:
--enable-dhcpv6 enable support for DHCPv6 (default is yes)

I am stumped! I lost pacman cache and now cant roll back to old version. Would somebody be kind enough to provide a working dhcp-3.1.1-1 version.

sudo modprobe ipv6
sudo sed -i 's|^\(MODULES[=].*\)[)]|\1 ipv6)|' /etc/rc.conf
sudo /etc/rc.d/dhcpd restart

But why is dhcpd looking for this i dont want ipv6 loaded! I read man page and it said -4 means IPv4 only, which is what i have. My dhcp conf file is pretty much vanillla stuff!

A patch that may help can be found here: https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-hackers/2008-October/001761.html

I still see that we are sitting at version dhcp 4.1.0-1... When can we expect this to be recompiled without IPV6?
Comment by Aaron Griffin (phrakture) - Monday, 26 January 2009, 18:57 GMT
If we recompile it without ipv6, what about the people USING ipv6? It makes more sense to patch this so the -4 flag works as intended - from the comments it seems that -4 doesn't do what it is supposed to.

I rebuilt the package with the patch that Jon Scully suggested and have had no problems. Any way this patch can be included in the next build?
Comment by Jason Begley (jayray) - Friday, 13 February 2009, 14:14 GMT
Any movement on this?

Because I am a really impatient person, I took the patchfile from isc.org myself, adjusted the PKGBUILD respectively, and rebuilt the dhcp package. It seems to work well.
   PKGBUILD (1.9 KiB)
   linux_ipv6_discover.patch (1.2 KiB)
