This is quite a serious problem. A misconfiguration or problem starting/restarting radvd completely aborts package installation and the entire dist-upgrade. This should not happen, and it's something that should have been fixed long ago--it's been outstanding and unaddressed for five years now. Please consider applying the attached patch, which makes this a non-fatal error on upgrade. You can change the "true" to make this a more informative warning message should you wish.
