Bug Description

I've experiencing constant issues when using systemd-networkd daemon to handle my network interfaces.

Everything seems to be working as it should, but i keep getting this spammed in the syslog.

I see this message in syslog:
systemd-networkd[623]: enp0s25: Starting DHCPv6 client on NDisc request failed: Invalid argument

This is fixed, as well as a couple of other IPv6 related issues in systemd version 230.

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2016-May/036583.html

Is updating to 230 for 16.04 on the table or is a backport for this bug a more appropriate way to do this?

Yakkety has v230, closing that task and keeping a xenial one open. Updating wholesale to 230 isn't an option. But if you find the commit that fixes that, we can backport that.

Changed in systemd (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Fix Released

For stable release updates we require targetted fixes only. If there are specific commits / pull-requests that address Invalid Argument error for you please research and point them out. Then I can integrate them into xenial.
