--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-client Version: 4.3.1-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, This configuration used to work on wheezy: iface eth0 inet6 static address 2001:0bc8:32b1::1 netmask 64 pre-up dhclient -cf /etc/dhcp/dhclient6.conf -pf /run/dhclient6.eth0.pid -6 -P eth0 pre-down dhclient -x -pf /run/dhclient6.eth0.pid with /etc/dhcp/dhclient6.conf containing: interface "eth0" { send dhcp6.client-id ##REDACTED##; supersede dhcp6.name-servers ::1; supersede dhcp6.domain-searchi "mydomain.example.com."; } Since upgraded to jessie, I had to add "pre-up sleep 10" before dhclient line. If not, dhclient give up with the following error and does not allow static IPv6 to be configured: dhclient: no link-local IPv6 address for eth0 I also tried to add "-w" option to dhclient line without effect. Dhclient should wait link-local address to be ready and not give up immediately (especialy with "-w" option). I've found similar bug on Red-Hat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130803 They don't seams to have issue an upstream bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages isc-dhcp-client depends on: ii debianutils 4.4+b1 ii iproute2 3.16.0-2 ii isc-dhcp-common 4.3.1-6 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libdns-export100 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9 ii libirs-export91 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9 ii libisc-export95 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9 isc-dhcp-client recommends no packages.
