Public bug reported: = Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Release: 16.04
ifupdown: Installed: 0.8.10ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.8.10ubuntu1 = For the inet6 static method, interfaces(5) implies that only 'address' is required (and thus netmask is optional), however settle-dad.sh assumes IF_NETMASK is being set. If only address is supplied, the following message is logged: Waiting for DAD... Error: inet6 prefix is expected rather than "2001:db8:ab:cd::12/" and settle-dad.sh returns immediately, before DAD has settled. 'ip address list' appears to ignore the netmask if it is supplied, so settle-dad could probably just use '[..] to "${IF_ADDRESS}"'. Alternatively, 'netmask' could be documented as 'required'. ** Affects: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543657 Title: settle-dad.sh expects netmask to be provided, but netmask is not marked 'required' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1543657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
