mmmm, that's strange.
Does it occur only once ? (when ifupdown2 is upgraded && reload it
done?)

Do you known which bond mode is used here ?



BTW, I had send another patch fixing it at systemd level directly (and
fixing another bug)

That's strange, because with or without this patch,  both links have
the same mac anyway.  (same random mac generated   vs same mac
inherited from first real interface).

For me, it's look like more a config problem at the physical switch
where no port group/port channel/... 


I don't see any error like this on my network with lacp bond.

(and the current patch is really fixing bugs on reload, where physical
switch can block ports in protection if the mac is switching)
