Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u2
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
The shipped dhclient.conf explicitly sets the DHCP options to be requested
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
This overwrites the defaults, which read
By default, the DHCPv4 client
requests the subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers and host-name options while the DHCPv6
client requests the dhcp6 name-servers and domain-search options. Note
that if you enter a ´request´ statement, you over-ride these defaults
and these options will not be requested.
This means, that the dhclient won't request any dhcp6 options at all.
Please add at least
dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search;
to that list, otherwise a standard Debian installation won't work out
of the box in IPv6-only situations.
I think this should be fixed for wheezy, but it might be too late.
Regards,
Bernhard
