[arch-general] netctl hangs after last update

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 at 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'

My network interfaces:
# ifconfig -a
ens3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet xx.xx.xx.xx  netmask 255.255.252.0  broadcast xx.xx.xx.xx
        inet6 xxxx::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 52:54:63:06:b9:80  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 0  (Local Loopback)

        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

If I set my ip, subnet, gateway, ... manually with ifconfig, route & so
on, everything works fine.

Does anybody have an idea what I can do to fix this problem?

Regards,
Robert.
