Package: dhcpcd5 Version: 7.1.0-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
when I start a global instance of dhcpcd via the initscript, I get its output messages (about getting or renewing a lease, binding interfaces, etc.) on tty1, mixed with the messages from sysvinit/rc. This makes the latter hard or impossible to read because they scroll off. According to the dhcpcd manpage, adding the quiet option to the config file should silence such output, so I did that (see included config at bottom). However it makes no difference whatsoever. Looking at the code I can see nowhere that any action is taken on this option. The big switch statement in parse_option() in if-options.c only has a trivial no-op case for 'q' which seems to be the argument it might get in this situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dhcpcd5 depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 Versions of packages dhcpcd5 recommends: pn openresolv | resolvconf <none> Versions of packages dhcpcd5 suggests: pn dhcpcd-gtk <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/dhcpcd.conf changed: quiet hostname duid persistent option rapid_commit option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name option classless_static_routes option interface_mtu require dhcp_server_identifier slaac hwaddr waitip 4 waitip 6 -- no debconf information
