dhcpcd-discuss

Hi there,

I am using Wicd for managing my network connections. However, each time
Wicd is connecting to a network, I get the following error message related
to dhcpcd.

Feb 18 11:07:16 thinkpad dhcpcd[21194]: dhcpcd not running
Feb 18 11:07:16 thinkpad dhcpcd[21214]: dhcpcd not running

I only run wicd.service which in turn should automatically run dhcpcd if
needed:

dhcpcd.service - dhcpcd on all interfaces
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service; disabled)

I left the dhcpcd.conf untouched.

I want to understand what is going wrong here. Is it an issue of Wicd or
dhcpcd?

Thanks ahead!
