1.38.1. RHBA-2009:1409: bug fix update
Updated dhcpv6 packages that resolve an issue are now available.
The dhcpv6 packages implement the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) networks, in accordance with RFC 3315: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6). DHCP is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information. It consists of: dhcp6c(8), the DHCPv6 client daemon; dhcp6s(8), the DHCPv6 server daemon; and dhcp6r(8), the DHCPv6 relay agent.
Previously, DHCPv6 was not able to be chosen as the IPv6 configuration method in anaconda. Choosing DHCPv6 instead of the default 'Automatic neighbor discovery' may have caused the installer to crash, returning a stack trace to the terminal. With this update, the libdhcp6client library code has been updated, and DHCPv6 can now be chosen as the IPv6 configuration method in the installer, which resolves this issue. (BZ#506722)
All users of dhcpv6 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
