Bug Description
Binary package hint: radvd
After upgrading an IPv6 router from karmic to lucid-rc, all hosts (several Linux and OS X boxes) on the internal net lose external IPv6 connectivity after 30 minutes.
A little debugging with radvdump dump showed that radvd stops sending multicasts router advertisements after the first few packages => clients lose there default route after the AdvDefaultLifetime setting (default 1800 seconds).
Apparently this is a known bug (http://
I've built Debian's radvd 1.6 package for lucid now (see https:/
Everything works fine with this version: radvdump shows no signs of RA starvation and clients keep there external IPv6 connectivity.
As this problem potentially will affect a lot of people using IPv6, I'd suggest updating radvd to 1.6 for the final lucid release.

I moved from a Debian-based firewall/router to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and was bit by this bug. Jürgen's new package is working properly for me.
