Thanks Roy. Unfortunately, we use the IPv4LL functionality. But it's ok,
I will wait for your fix.

The reason we needed to upgrade was because in 6.0.5, dhcpcd would not
send DECLINE messages back to the dhcp server when it was offering it
address that was in conflict. Thus, it would get into a loop where
dhcpcd would keep asking for an offer and server would give it same
address over and over again. In 6.6.1, dhcpcd sends decline messages,
thus, server ends up offering it new address.

Thanks,
