Bug#1015809: 1015809: isc-dhcp-client: DHCPv6 doesn't work on ppp interface, got `Unsupported device type` error

I don't run Debian on that system anymore due to other issues I came across - however, if I can extract the dhclient binary, I can probably test that on my current setup. That was my workaround using the Fedora dhclient binary for a while on the Debian install. -- Steven Haigh 

Ok, so after a day of messing around with Debian 12, it looks like without these patches applied, there is no way to get a IPv6 PD working with a PPPoE connection. Given the majority of ISPs in Australia use PPPoE as their connection method, this is a much bigger issue in this country than

It looks like this report is over a year old - but there's been no movement on it. It seems that a PD request won't work on Debian 12 either using 4.4.3. Is there any reason as to why this patch hasn't been added? -- Steven Haigh  net...@crc.id.au 
