OK, I found out that this is documented behaviour, although the hint is not
in the man page.
If it's not in the man page, then where is the below quote from?
"secondary --- this address is not used when selecting the default source
address for outgoing packets. An IP address becomes secondary if another
address within the same prefix (network) already exists. The first address
within the prefix is primary and is the tag address for the group of all the
secondary addresses. When the primary address is deleted all of the
secondaries are purged too."
That means there is no way to change the IP of an interface if the prefix and
network size stay the same. Are there any plans to fix that?
What's wrong with delete followed by add?
This thread started on netdev, so I'm cc-ing that, in case someone doesn't
read both lists.
