Is there a reason for this to be running on systems that don't have interfaces with DHCPv6 ?
Ping?
The system has no knowledge about IPv6 being present on the interface or not, it is you who has, so the standard is: it assumes there might be IPv6 on the interface and when it is, it tries to use it.
Okay. Perhaps I should have phrased the question differently - what is the purpose of wickedd-dhcp6 (in general, but specifically on systems with _no_ interface configured for DHCPv6) ?
Does this mean that you have disabled IPv6 in the General settings? And did you choose only DHCP4 in all the interfaces? In that case there should not be any need for DHCPv6 or any IPv6 services, not even the Link-Local Address Generation.
I mean, "man wickedd" says that wickedd-dhcpv6 is a "DHCPv6 client supplicant", but when there are no interfaces configured for dhcpv6, it doesn't seem to be needed. If wicked doesn't know the local network config, well ....
Otherwise this daemon might be involved in IPv6 Stateless Auto Configuration as a minimum.
Perhaps the better question would be - does wickedd-dhcpv6 have anything to do with dhcpv6 or is the naming just a red herring?
