This article contains all problems that I encountered when upgrading Debian from 10/Buster to 11/Bullseye.
isc-dhcp-server failed to start
Unfortunately, all you see at first using systemctl status isc-dhcp-server
is
Sep 30 20:51:28 host systemd[1]: isc-dhcp-server.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Sep 30 20:51:28 host systemd[1]: isc-dhcp-server.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Sep 30 20:51:28 host systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: DHCP server.
journalctl -xe
contains relevant information:

Okt 01 09:22:28 host dhcpd[47388]: Okt 01 09:22:28 host dhcpd[47388]: No subnet6 declaration for vmnet (2001:0DB8::/32). Okt 01 09:22:28 host dhcpd[47388]: ** Ignoring requests on vmnet. If this is not what Okt 01 09:22:28 host dhcpd[47388]: you want, please write a subnet6 declaration Okt 01 09:22:28 host dhcpd[47388]: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment Okt 01 09:22:28 host dhcpd[47388]: to which interface vmnet is attached. **
The simple solution is to add the required subnet declaration in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf
:
subnet6 2001:0DB8::/32 { range6 2001:0DB8::1 2001:0DB8::efff; }
