This is still an issue in Ubuntu Server 16.04.1. I have the following in
my /etc/network/interfaces file:
# The primary network interface
auto ens3
iface ens3 inet dhcp
# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
iface ens3 inet6 auto
dhcp 1
And on startup:
Aug 5 15:55:23 flounder dhclient[2483]: Can't bind to dhcp address: Cannot
assign requested address
Can confirm the "gross ugly hack" in #7 works. I suggest involving the
ifupdown and NetworkManager maintainers as well since their tools should
probably be aware of the state of the link and can control when dhclient
is invoked.
