Package: wide-dhcpv6-client
Version: 20061016-1
Severity: minor
Hello,
When an interfaces is brought upp at boot before wide-dhcpv6-client has
been started by initscripts, the ifupdown hook yields an error because
it can obviously not connect to dhcpv6c yet. The ifupdown hook should
check that dhcp6c has been started, and exit silently if not. dhcpc6
would normally start the interface automatically when started later on
anyway.
This problem can happen for network devices with an "auto" stance in
/etc/network/interfaces, since "networking" is started before dhcp6c in
the init sequence. I am not sure if it could also happen for
ifplugd-controlled interfaces (or otherwise) too.
Regards,
