[Bug 1683540] Re: Z LPAR installation presents ipv6 address, when user provides ipv4

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

if you read the full message including the first sentence, both ipv4 and
ipv6 addresses are offered. From your log:

"To continue the installation, please use an SSH client to connect to the IP 
address fe80::ff:feb5:d11d 10.245.208.8 fe80::ff:feb5:d11d and log in as the 
"installer" user. For example:"

Note that 10.245.208.8 is listed...

duplicate ipv6 addresses for tagged/untagged vlans are not filtered out,
there is not `uniq` tool available in d-i.

sorting link-local address after all other addresses would be nice, but
I am not sure how to achieve that in minimal shell that is available in
d-i.

Title:
  network-console presents a random IP address from all that are
  available

Status in netcfg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While installing a Z LPAR with 17.04 (Zesty), non-auto network
  configuration is selected and when prompted for the system IP address
  an IPv4 address is provided by the user. Once the installation process
  reaches the 'Continue installation remotely using SSH' phase, an IPv6
  address is presented to the user.

  User input:  10.245.208.8/20
  Menu output: ssh installer at fe80::ff:feb5:d11d

  expected: installer at 10.245.208.8

  The expected value works and the installation process can continue but
  the ipv6 value is unexpected.

  Please see the attached log.
