Package: ifupdown Version: 0.7.5 Severity: normal The manual method for IPv6 does not work. When I try to use it, the interface still comes up with an IPv6 link-local address and, if there is an IPv6 router and autoconf has not previously been disabled, an autoconf address. When 'inet6 manual' is specified, at the very least autoconf should be disabled, as 'inet6 static' does by default. Perhaps IPv6 should even be completely disabled for that interface.
(IMAO, this should also have been the default when there is no inet6 stanza for the interface. However, I do appreciate that changing this now would (a) slow IPv6 adoption, and (b) break existing installations.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ifupdown depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-34 ii iproute 20120521-3 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ifupdown recommends no packages.
