Could it be that he will never get them, and has to use always private addresses on the inside? Same as if he were using NAT. The ISP doesn't want his internal machines to be directly adressable from outside.
No, the problem is openSUSE does not appear to support DHCPv6-PD, which is needed to use it as a router with most ISPs. I have a block of 2^72 addresses from my ISP. Any I use within that range will be accessible from outside. There is another type of address, called Unique Local Addresses, which are not accessible from elsewhere, though they are routeable, just like RFC1918 addresses on IPv4. Also, NAT is a hack, to get around the IPv4 address shortage, so there's no need for it on IPv6.
I meant that maybe his provider wants him to use Unique Local Addresses. But it can be what you say. Would the inside prefix he is supposed to get be registered on the log, somehow? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
