its trying to use an interface that was in my config file but I renamed it and replaced the name in my config

ciaran@router:/etc/wide-dhcpv6$ cat dhcp6c.conf

##

## This is/etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6c.conf

##

## Replace the existing configuration with this one.



# Send a PD request on the external facing interface

# send ia-pd says ask for a prefix

# the script is run when the prefix is acquired

interface wan0 {

 send ia-pd 2;

 script "/etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6c-script";

};



# Upon receiving a prefix use the

# information to set the internal facing interface

id-assoc pd 2 {

 prefix-interface wlan0 {

  ifid 1;

  sla-id 1;

  sla-len 0;

 };

};



## End of config.

any idea why its attempting to use the wrong interface?

there was a file in /etc/defauls setting the address to ask for a prefix on

ciaran@router:/etc/default$ cat wide-dhcpv6-client

# Defaults for dhcpv6 client initscript

# Used by /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client



# Interfaces on which the client should send DHCPv6 requests and listen to

# answers. If empty, the client is deactivated.

INTERFACES="enp0s31f6"



# Verbose level for syslog. Default is 0 (0: minimal; 1: info; 2: debug)

#VERBOSE=0

after I changed that to wan0 it worked
