Hi,
I'd like to fix two issues in netcfg: memory corruption with NTP server
name handling, and rdnssd's getting installed, which conflicts with
network-manager and prevents some desktops from being correctly installed.
Changelog entry:
| netcfg (1.131+deb8u2) jessie; urgency=medium
|
| * IPv6 autoconfiguration: fix NTP server name handling, which would be
| stored as the DHCP-provided hostname, with many thanks to Malcolm
| Scott for the bug report and the patch (Closes: #862745).
| * Stop queueing rdnssd's installation with IPv6 setups. This component
| conflicts with network-manager and installing it from the network
| configuration step might prevents large parts of desktop environments
| from being installed. This isn't a perfect solution but this should be
| way better than the current status quo (Closes: #854801).

Fixes are in stretch already.
Thanks for considering.
KiBi.
