Package: netcfg-static Severity: normal Tags: ipv6 When I try to configure fe80::1 (next router) as a gateway in an IPv6 only network the installer stops with an "Unreachable gateway" error.
Looking at netcfg-common.c:netcfg_gateway_reachable its checked by comparing bytes. Imho a better way would be to configure the interface and ping the gateway? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
