I've had no problem for 3 years, except for your intervention
It was strictly a suggestion to provide your output messages to English so people can better provide support. I know I don't speak French and I would simply need to guess what the error message was based on context or use a translation service (which I'm usually lazy and if I can't understand the issue based on context, I'd likely ignore the post). (I did actually paste one of the error messages into Google Translate to verify the error message was actually in French.)
You're free to obviously do as you choose, but if you post foreign text, it's probable that some are going to not understand it and many of those won't go out of their way to translate it.
I can't tell you how many times Didier has posted some foreign saying, and I'm usually lazy enough that I don't throw it into a translation service and will just think "oh, it's probably clever, but I'll never know for sure." (Sorry, Didier!)

No reason to be sorry but if and when you want to translate from a language you don't know, I suggest to use deepl.com, the best freely available translation service that I know. @All: yes this is off topic, but I felt allowed to answer.
PS.
Q. How do you call someone who speaks only one language?
A. He is American.

Whenever I get the itch to translate something, I always use Google Translate. Deepl might be better, but I don't think I've tried it.

I am definitely American. Our foreign language education sucks! I took 3 years of Spanish in high school but I learned more Spanish while working at McDonald's for 1.5 years (I actually was able to conversate in Spanish because of working there). Unfortunately, due to not speaking Spanish in decent amounts for many years, I've lost most of my knowledge of it.

Mr. Didier, I understand and speak Mandarin (Northern) Chinese, Japanese and English, but with all respect still I do not speak French, Spanish or German.
And I observed that some people here (including me) setups at least an alternate user account which uses standard English for the sake of facilitating the communication on this forum.
I am quite sure that you are really proud of yours French ancestry, but same here, I am proud of being part of a nation with 8000 years history. No offense intended to anyone, but we did architecture, art and poetry when the Europeans still lived on caves and hunted Neanderthals for food.
However, I believe that as a cosmopolitan community as we are, we need a Lingua Franca.
And this being an American Forum, where mainly we address to an American gentleman who's our BDFL, let's use English all the way, for the sake of communication consistency.

'Didier' is optimistic, in France it's not much better

So, the Europeans don't exist, as Neanderthal (which is today thought to be a common ancestor of every humans out of Africa) disappeared ~37000 years ago.

Who said that Neanderthals disappeared 37000 years ago is wrong.
Take a look at the lady from the attached image and feel free to wonder from which continent she's.
I believe that anyone on this world will be capable to say accurate her continent of living. She's European, right?
However, she lived tens of thousands years ago and she's not a Homo Sapiens Sapiens as species. She's Neanderthal.
A truth conveniently forgotten by many is that Homo Sapiens Sapiens people who did the second human migration from Africa was, well... Africans with all African traits a human living in Congo can get after hundreds of generations. Including even the skin and hair color, they was Africans.
IF they had been fully replaced the previous people living on Europa, as the teachers told us, there should not be White people on this continent, right?

You should add a variable to rc.inet1.conf to enable IPv6 autoconfiguration. With Linode autoconfiguration needs to be on, but the -current (20210516) rc.inet1 disables it regardless.

Line 316
Code:
# Disable v6 IP auto configuration before trying to bring up the interface:
debug_log "${1}: disabling IPv6 autoconf"
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/${1}/autoconf
And line 357:
Code:
# Enable auto configuration of interfaces:
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/${1}/autoconf
