Hello, after the update yesterday (see pacman log at the end of the e-mail), netctl hangs when I try to start my network connection with the error message:

A dependency job for netctl@conn1.service failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details. The hanging sub-process of netctl seems to be /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch.

In my syslog are the following lines:

[19:42:09] info daemon systemd Expecting device sys-subsystem- net-devices-eth0.device... [19:43:39] warning daemon systemd Job sys-subsystem-net-devices- eth0.device/start timed out. [19:43:39] err daemon systemd Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device. [19:43:39] err daemon systemd Dependency failed for The main network connection.

My netctl profile is the following:

Description='The main network connection' Interface=ens3 Connection=ethernet IP=static Address=('xx.xx.xx.xx/22') Gateway='xx.xx.xx.xx' DNS=('xx.xx.xx.xx' 'xx.xx.xx.xx') IP6=static Address6=('xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1/64') Gateway6='fe80::1'

Does anybody have an idea what I can do to fix this problem? Regards, Robert.
