The util 'apport-collect' does not work well on a headless server, what with assuming it's running in a terminal window on a GUI on the machine affected. Not going to work for most servers, like mine.

The system has two interfaces, a physical eth0 and vlan10. 1. privext 0 in /etc/network/interfaces When I set the "privext 0" option for both interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, then vlan10 does not get the configured static IPv6 address. It only gets the IPv6 link local address. However, eth0 is configured as expected with just the given static address. Using "privext 0" on only one or the other, but not both, worked as expected. 2. net.ipv6.conf.*.use_tempaddr = 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf If I add both net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 0 and net.ipv6.conf.vlan10.use_tempaddr = 0 of /etc/sysctl.conf, then the situation is reversed. Vlan10 is configured as expected with just its given address and eth0 has only the link-local address. If I add only net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr = 0, then again eth0 only gets the link local address and not the assigned static. On using net.ipv6.conf.vlan10.use_tempaddr = 0, then everything ended up as expected - eth0 had the auto-config addresses plus its static address and vlan10 only had the static address. 1 + 2 kludging attempt: Unfortunately, combining net.ipv6.conf.vlan10.use_tempaddr = 0 in sysctl.conf and "privext 0" in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0, both of which worked as expected alone, did not work togther. The result was the same as setting net.ipv6.conf.*.use_tempaddr = 0 on bothg, as mentioned above. 3. net.ipv6.conf.*.use_tempaddr = 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf Using net.ipv6.conf.*.autoconf = 0 resulted in eth0 getting only it's static address as expected, but vlan10 was still given the autoconfig addresses. Using only net.ipv6.conf.vlan10.autoconf = 0 had no effect, the interface still go the auto-config addresses. Using only net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf = 0 did work. 2 + 3 kludging attempt: What finally worked was the combination of net.ipv6.conf.vlan10.autoconf = 0 and net.ipv6.conf.vlan10.use_tempaddr = 0 Summary: So it looks like that of all thee three methods one can potentially use to get rid of IPv^ auto-config addresses, one simply doesn't work on vlan interfaces and the other two have weird transitive side effects when applied at the same time to a parent physical interface and a child vlan interface when one would expect them to be entirely independent.
