[Bug 1977619] Re: NetworkManager 1.36.6 no longer prefers DHCPv6 addresses over SLAAC

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Kevin. Thanks, it's a bit of an annoying situation. The current update
is not only in proposed but was moving to updates before you reported
the regression, which means we can't simply delete it from proposed, we
need a fix or revert. I was hoping upstream would figure out a fix
quickly enough that we could do another bugfix upload. If that doesn't
play out this way we need to figure out what to do.

The initial reason for SRUing the update, out of keeping up with
upstream fixes, was that it fixes some hotspot issues which is a topic
we are getting complain about
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/commit/6a82dd18)

We could revert back the version, including other fixes. Or revert the
change that created the regression you reported. Note that while it
seems an annoying issue to you that's the only report we got so far
which suggest it's not a common configuration for our users, which is
also a reason why I decided to wait a bit to see if upstream was
reacting before reverting.
