Description Alix 2023-04-22 05:27:44 UTC

dhcp USE flag was added in netifrc-0.7.3-r1, but ebuild does not consider sys-apps/busybox's udhcpc as possible dhcp client, which results pulling possibly unwanted net-misc/dhcpcd dependency in:

	dhcp? ( || ( net-misc/dhcpcd net-misc/dhcp[client] ) )"

On systems where udhcpc is used as dhcp client, this may lead to silent switch to dhcpcd if /etc/conf.d/net doesn't have modules="udhcpc" defined, and that may cause unexpected breakage.

Reproducible: Always
