"line 1280 of autoipd's main.c: "else if (event ==
EVENT_ROUTABLE_ADDR_CONFIGURED)" is missing '&& !force_bind' in
the conditional. The lack of this condition causes the local
link IP to be released even if the --force-bind arugment is
passed.
The problem was noticed when attempting to use avahi-autoipd
acquire a link-local address during the early-userspace in a
Linux initramfs. Immediately after the call-out script assinged
the ll-address to the device, the daemon released the address
via this conditional. It's suspicious that the daemon would
consider this address "routable" but, even if it were,
--force-bind should prevent the address from being released.
After adding the && !force_bind to the conditional the daemon
appeard to behave as expected."
