I was looking at https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/dhcpcd/testing/amd64/

I file so many bugs, I don't keep track. I forgot I recently filed 
another bug for dhcpcd. Thanks for reminding me.

Well, I can't give you more logs than what your test writes. So that's 
in your hands, I suggest you try and make the test more verbose of 
what's going on, or maybe ensure some logs end up in the artifacts for 
inspection. Also, if dnsmasq is the problem, you might want to contact 
the maintainer and discuss the issue (e.g. in a bug report). From my 
standpoint, it's the autopkgtest of dhcpcd that's having issues and that 
*is* an issue for src:dhcpcd. You could reassign this bug and mark it 
"affects dhcpcd".

I acknowledge that something fishy seems to be ongoing in the archive 
when new version of src:glibc binaries appear (not only with dhcpcd I 
mean). For now I'll not hold that against autopkgtest failures of 
packages too much.
