Yes, your server is advertising that it has no addresses to give.

The client doesn't want a lease without addresses...

The output here is what your server is sending in the error message
string at the end of the status code option the server supplies:

I think the helpful text your server is providing is pretty lame.

In the ISC DHCPv6 server for example it would look like:

| IA_NA status code NoAddrsAvail: "No addresses available for this interface."

News to me.  That placement in the client's processing is at the
start when it wants to initialize the interface - flush any previous
configuration out.  So it is probably semi harmless in that you might
not notice a problem from it.

Can you do /sbin/ip -V for me?  We can see if there's a different,
backwards compatible syntax we can use.
