Probably one of the many fixes that 9.5.0 and up include, but that I could not cherry-pick for Debian's 9.4.1. Ideally, I would have shipped 9.5.0 with Bookworm, but upstream's protracted failure at producing a release in a timely manner, despite repeated requests from myself and others, means that it came out WAY past the deadline for the Bookworm freeze. > While dhcpcd5/dhcpcd runs and obtains leases, the -U / --dumplease function > fails with either > "Bad system call" or, if running under sudo, with "dhcpcd_readdumptimeout" > > The issue appears to be impacting other systems that have later versions of > libc > than does Debian Bullseye.

Noted. In principle, I have version 10 ready to upload. However, given the Bookworm freeze, the best I could do is push it to experimental. Martin-Éric
