while I am at finding bugs, after moving to a

The 2a0a:e5c0:10:bee:5fe8:6d2:b19a:3e8f is from the previous network,
the 2a0a:e5c1:111:111:6513:82f9:2b4f:593e is from the current network.
I don't suppose you can put this in /etc/dhcpcd.conf and restart dhcpcd?
debug
logfile /var/log/dhcpcd.log
When it happens again, please email the log and state the address not
removed?
I am currently running dhcpcd from the checkout and it complains about
script_runreason: /libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks: No such file or directory
which is correct, because I just compiled it with the default
settings. I am not sure whether this might be related, but I am sure
that I have seen this problem before when running the system wide
installed dhcpcd.
I'm not yet sure how to trigger / verify this, but I have seen it some
times already and wanted to let you know.
Each OS wants to put the hooks in different directories.
On Linux I think most put them in /lib/dhcpcd.
I default to the NetBSD default which is /libexec.
Perfectly normal to see this error. To install to /libexec as well (it
won't hurt), just do `make proginstall` in the top level directory.
