Package: iproute2 Version: 4.16.0-2 Severity: normal Hi,
The last iproute2 update has a backwards incompatible change in setting IPv6 default routes, breaking existing configuration and scripts. Previously, the following was possible, and now it requires an explicit -6 option to be added: -# ip route add default via 2001:db8::1 dev eth0 Error: inet address is expected rather than "2001:db8::1". This works: -# ip -6 route add default via 2001:db8::1 dev eth0 I found out after having systems end up being unreachable after a reboot, because I have commands like these in network/interfaces. I had a look at upstream changelogs, but I don't see any mention of this, and suspect it was not intentional. However, it's bad. -- Hans van Kranenburg
