[Bug 1633479] [NEW] dhclient does not wait for ipv6 dad (duplicate address detection)

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

dhclient -6 does not wait for an interface go through duplicate address detection.
As a result the following will almost always fail:

 $ dev=eth0
 $ ip link set down dev $dev
 $ dhclient -6 -1 -v eth0

 Can't bind to dhcp address: Cannot assign requested address
 Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
 running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
 bootp in /etc/inetd.conf.   Also make sure you
 are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
 includes a bootp server.
