Package: dhcpcd5
Version: 6.10.1-1
X-debbugs-CC: r...@marples.name

man page says:

-k, --release [interface]
             This causes an existing dhcpcd process running on the interface
             to release its lease and de-configure the interface regardless of
             the -p, --persistent option.  If no interface is specified then
             this applies to all interfaces.  If no interfaces are left run-
             ning, dhcpcd will exit.

But in reality,

# dhcpcd5 -k
dhcpcd not running
# pstree -al|grep dhc
  |-dhcpcd5 wlxf428530bfc87
              |-grep dhc
# dhcpcd5 -k  wlxf428530bfc87
sending signal ARLM to pid 1312
waiting for pid 1312 to exit
# dhcpcd5 -k  wlxf428530bfc87
dhcpcd not running

By the way, maybe it should also call itself by the name we called it, dhcpcd5.
