I have dhcpcd set up to do DHCPv6 PD on a PPP interface. After updating
from 9.0.2 to 9.1.2 dhcpcd was no longer able to acquire a prefix due
to failing router solicitations.

According to tcpdump no router solicitations are sent on the interface,
despite dhcpcd printing "soliciting an IPv6 router" and strace showing
correspondiing sendmsg() calls. I didn't have more time yet to dig
deeper unfortunately.

Soliciting an IPv6 router has nothing to do with prefix delegation.
You're looking for lines like this:

re0: broadcasting REBIND6 (xid 0xd962d5), next in 1.0 seconds
re0: REPLY6 received from fe80::1


Reverting to 9.0.2 fixes the issue and packets can be seen in tcpdump
accordingly.

My config:

ipv6only
nohook resolv.conf
noipv6rs
interface ppp0
   ipv6rs
   ia_pd 1 eth0/0/64

Could you add the word "debug" on a line by itself at the top please?
logfile /var/log/dhcpcd.log
may also help

And if you could post logs of dhcpcd-9.0.2 working and dhcpcd-9.1.2 not working that would be awesome :)

Btw, how about enabling the GitHub issue tracker? It's quite decent.

I prefer this mailing list.
