Description Dennis Gäbler 2023-04-17 23:26:45 UTC 
Recently dhcpcd was updated from 9.5 to 10.0 and netifrc failed to obtain a dhcp lease and instead returned the error: "The dhcpcd version is too old. Please upgrade."

I narrowed it down to this check https://github.com/gentoo/netifrc/blob/master/net/dhcpcd.sh#L34

case "$(dhcpcd --version | head -n 1)" in
	"dhcpcd "[123]\.*)
		eerror 'The dhcpcd version is too old. Please upgrade.'
		return 1
		;;
esac

This obviously also flags versions starting from 10 as too old.
