Description miohna 2021-01-30 19:12:51 UTC

dhcpcd expects the directory /var/db/dhcpcd/ being present for the storage of various files. However, this directory is not created during a default build process of this package, causing error messages at run time.

Suggesting to add a mkdir -p /var/db/dhcpcd/ in file /package/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.mk

This has been fixed in upstream dhcpcd since version 9.2.0 and
