I have dhcpcd 8.0.3 (a bit old, I know) on an embedded device.
Today I noticed that my resolv.conf is sometimes blank, even if my DHCP server always provides a DNS value (confirmed through wireshark).

I have tried to fix it with a command dhcpcd -n eth0, this works but then I found that when I repeat the command call I get periodically correct and blank resolv.conf. Is that even possible?

Do you have any other application competeing to write to resolv.conf?
Do you have resolvconf(8) installed to manage this? I also maintain openresolv, which is a good resolvconf implementation.

The hook script to manage resolv.conf has hardly changed from 8.0.3 and there is nothing that stands out to say "this is the issue".
