What actually *was*/is the bug? Reading the old thread I gather you were putting "=yes" in a variable that expected "=true", but that when done with dpkg-reconfigure it correctly puts in "=true" so it is unclear to me how "=yes" got in there. Anyway, as was the case in 2022 but even more so in 2025, it is probably time to rely on other software like NetworkManager or systemd-networkd for random MAC compared to macchanger which seems abandoned.
