That still doesn't qualify it as RC. > TBH, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with the Provides: > avahi-autoipd in dhcpcd-base. > > Answering that question might help with finding a proper solution. dhclient doesn't provide IPv4LL but has hooks to call avahi-autoipd as needed. Meanwhile dhcpcd provides IPv4LL out of the box, along the same fallback connectivity logic as avahi-autoipd. Having both installed is not only redundant, it concurrently tries to control the same interfaces. Basically, this is the same reason why we want to avoid 2 DHCP clients trying to control the same interface and assume that as long as one package Proivides dhcp-client, we've got a bootable host.
