[Bug 1558166] Re: Xenial installer hangs for a long time with "Setting up the clock" message on IPv6-only systems

[Julian]

Confirmed here, having the same issue trying to build a VM from
ubuntu-16.04.2-server-amd64.iso via cobbler.

Hangs at "setting up clock from network time server". Switching to an
alternate console also magically unblocks this. Do we have a timeline
for fixing this? This is preventing automation from working at my job.

Title:
  Xenial installer hangs for a long time with "Setting up the clock"
  message on IPv6-only systems

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing on a IPv6-only system the installer hangs for a long
  time on "Setting up the clock" step with "Getting the time from a
  network time server...". Hitting "Cancel" have no effect.

  Eventually the installer continues, I would guess after a hard
  timeout.

  This is a regression and it has surfaced during the last few days.
