Hi, one of the Pi-hole developers here. dhcpcd5 is a vestigial package that we brought over from the Other platform that we started out on. If you set your static IP address the way most of the distributions do, via /etc/network/interfaces, then you can remove the dhcpcd5 client daemon and things should run just as well as stock. If you have any other questions or problems please let me know and well work on getting them solved. We do plan on removing the dhcpcd5 package as a dependency on platforms that don't require it, but there is no firm date for that resolution.
Thanks!
Thanks!
