Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7.5+nmu1 Severity: important Tags: ipv6 See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/11/msg00038.html:
ifupdown configures v6 addresses on inet6 interfaces just fine, except IPv6 uses "DAD" (duplicate address detection) as a safe-guard. While DAD is running, the address is flagged "tentative" on the interface, meaning that it cannot be bound to. While there are hacks around this, and while arguably software should be able to handle changing interfaces, this isn't yet the case. Hence I propose that ifupdown's init script should not return until DAD is completed on all interfaces/addresses it managed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41 ii iproute 20120521-3+b4 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian9 ifupdown recommends no packages.
