Just to be clear here: Is this particular bug report about
a/ NM using ADDRFAM=NetworkManager in the dispatcher script or

b/ the /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ifblacklist_migrate.sh producing a
broken/incorrect /e/n/i?

I somehow got confused what the actual issue now is, which causes the
problems with NFS mounts.


For a/ there is already [1], so anything related to that should probably
follow up there. What I basically need there, is someone with access to
an IPv6 enabled network, who can test a few things for me.

For b/, see the recent email I sent regarding netcfg and d-i.
We can certainly try to fix the script to no longer produce such broken
configuration or/and wait for the patches in d-i to land.
What should we do with existing, incorrect /e/n/i files though?
I'm very worried doing even more /e/n/i mangling and trying to fixup the
file retroactively.
What exactly are the consequences of having such a broken configuration?
