Additional checking into this issue, I found out, that the difference in sarge and etch is, that in sarge the ICMPv6 Echo Request ist sent from ::1 and in etch it's sent from argv[1] (=IPv6 address I want to set).
Therefore the last check in is_addr6_available is failing, since it checks the ICMPv6 Echo Reply to come from ::1 which it doesn't. I tried rewriting this check, but didn't succeed. Would you have a patch available, so that I can rebuild the binary.
