/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action is searching for dhcpcd.pid in /etc/dhcpc/. However, it seems that the PID files for dhcpcd have moved to /var/run. When a DHCP-enabled interface loses link beat, ifplugd can't kill dhcpcd, and subsequently, when the interface comes back up, a new instance of dhcpcd refuses to run. As a result, after unplugging and re-plugging the network cable for the first time, the interface doesn't acquire a new IP Address. The attached patch resolves the issue

may I suggest this should rather be fixed in task 7555 way, so as to avoid this kind of issue in the future.
