Hi.
Well, the package hasn't been ported to any modern package format, so
debugging an old (very old) package just thrown into a new buildroot
version is generally a no-go since the old style hasn't been accepted or
used for a long time.
Otherwise there are many things that could go wrong.
Also you don't specify the precise target or a defconfig to check.
I suggest you convert the package to a generic one (look at the manual),
try again and see if it still fails.
Alternatively if you're in such a rush you could use dibbler which is a
far more modern/maintained DHCPv6 client/server/relay.
Regards.
