+ [Impact]
When using dhcpv6 configured via ifupdown, the interface's dhcp client
fails to start at boot with the error:
Can't bind to dhcp address: Cannot assign requested address
This is because ifupdown doesn't wait, after bringing the interface up,
for it to complete its link-local Duplicate Address Detection (DAD), and
the dhcp client can't bind to the link-local address because it's still
in "tentative" state (until DAD completes).
This is fixed upstream in debian ifupdown in version 0.8.11 by adding
'-tentative' to the /lib/ifupdown/wait-for-ll6.sh script; before the
script was only waiting for the link-local address to appear, now it
waits until the link-local address appears and is not in 'tentative'
state.
[Test Case]
Configure an interface, using ifupdown, with dhcpv6 (e.g. iface eth0
- inet6 dhcp) and reboot. It will fail to get a dhcp address during boot.

- After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04 my computer is unable to obtain an IPv6
address via DHCPv6. The root cause is that dhclient is exiting with the
following message:

Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you
are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
includes a bootp server.

exiting.
-----------------------------------------------------
The problem seems to exist in isc-dhcp-client 4.3.1-5ubuntu2 (15.04
version) because downgrading to isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-7ubuntu14 (14.10
version) allows me to obtain an address.
NetworkManager is the one launching dhclient. The two invocations (one
for IPv4 and one for IPv6) are:
dhclient_start(): running: /sbin/dhclient -d -q -sf
/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-
manager.dhclient-eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-c0a3dfde-
5c0b-4cef-9c3b-563cfb1fb9d2-eth0.lease -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager
/dhclient-eth0.conf eth0
dhclient_start(): running: /sbin/dhclient -d -q -6 -N -sf
/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-
manager.dhclient6-eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient6
-c0a3dfde-5c0b-4cef-9c3b-563cfb1fb9d2-eth0.lease -cf
/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient6-eth0.conf eth0
I do not see anything suspicious with the way both dhclients are
invoked.
Given that a downgrade allows me to obtain an IPv6 address I think this
might be a bug in the ISC DHCP client rather than in NetworkManager.
