Package: dhcpcd Version: 1:10.3.2-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
`dhcpcd.service` has `Before=networking.service`, which is basically exactly opposite what you want in most cases. If you are using ifupdown to manage your statically-configured interfaces, such as LAN interfaces, and then using PD via dhcpcd to manage provider-delegated addresses to those interfaces, you want those interfaces configured and brought up *before* dhcpcd starts. In my case, that means creating VLAN interfaces with specific sysctls (e.g., `addr_gen_mode=1`) and bringing them up with static RFC 1918 IPv4 addresses, ULA IPv6 addresses, and chosen IPv6 link local addresses (e.g., `fe80::1`), all of which needs to happen before dhcpcd touches them. Notably, my WAN connection doesn't have any static configuration outside of dhcpcd.conf and sysctl.d/*: it is not even referenced in /etc/network/interfaces.d/*, because dhcpcd entirely manages the lifecycle of that interface, overriding virtually every setting you might want specified in an interfaces stanza, so I cannot fathom why anyone would want to enforce dhcpcd starting before `ifup -a`. `dhcpcd.service` should either have `After=networking.service`, or should not specify a dependency at all, letting the user set the right order via `override.conf` without having to shadow the entire service module and keep it in-sync with upstream perpetually. (That motivates another feature request for systemd that I am sure will never be accepted, that of syntax to remove individual entries from list variables via override; but I digress.) -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.101+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dhcpcd depends on: ii dhcpcd-base 1:10.3.2-6 Versions of packages dhcpcd recommends: pn wpasupplicant <none> Versions of packages dhcpcd suggests: pn dhcpcd-gtk <none> -- no debconf information
