(bug filed upstream, link below) # Additional info: * package version(s): `3.16.5` (fine) `3.17.0` (netctl unit failure) * config and/or log files: * link to upstream bug report, if any: **Relevant Journal Entries** ```none Jun 29 00:44:58 valkyrie network[847]: resolvconf: signature mismatch: /etc/resolv.conf Jun 29 00:44:58 valkyrie network[847]: resolvconf: run `resolvconf -u` to update <snip> Jun 29 00:44:59 valkyrie kernel: r8169 0000:05:00.0 enp5s0: Link is Down Jun 29 00:44:59 valkyrie avahi-daemon[724]: Interface enp5s0.IPv4 no longer relevant for mDNS.

(server with specific requirements) 2. create simple static IP from `/etc/netctl/example` directory. (configure to start at boot) 3. reboot - network interface is brought up correctly, but when openresolv can't modify `/etc/resolv.conf` it marks the service `FAILED` taking down the network. **Extensive Thread on arch-general** The thread on arch-general containing all logs and configs is titled: *"Updated on 25th to 6.15.3 + firmware (fine), update tonight to 6.15.4 + firmware, network not up, dhcpd4 fails?"* Will report back with updates from upstream.
