Description:

For some reasons specifically on Arch systems, on every connection the dhcpcd package throws out some weird errors similar to this:

Feb 18 16:19:24 thinkpad dhcpcd[12549]: wls1: ipv6nd_sendrsprobe:
sendmsg: Cannot assign requested address

There is a patch available which fixes this:

http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/ci/12934660bc?sbs=0

Can the dhcpcd in the repos be patched with it?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

dhcpcd 6.2.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Establish a connection using wicd
2. Check the journal for the error output
This task depends upon

Hi Doug,

I switched to dhclient and cannot longer test dhcpcd.

Since I seem to be the only user who has been affected in the past, I suggest to simply close the bug report without further testing?
