[Bug 1747170] Re: installer no ipv4 dhcp

It's trying ipv6 dhcp before ipv4.  Previous install did it the other
way around.

Failing ipv4 error from /var/log/syslog:

"Can't initialize context: failure

process and information we find helpful for debugging.."

If I switch to another console and manually run "dhclient -v" I get the
exact same error.

Title:
  installer no ipv4 dhcp

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At the configure the network stage

  "Network autoconfiguration failed
  Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol.  Alternatively, the DHCP serer may
  be slow or some network hardware is not working properly.

  <Continue>
  "

  The problem is ... that it only does DHCP for ipv6 but DHCP for ipv4
  doesn't work.

  Work around:

  Press enter at the <Continue> prompt and select "Configure network
  manually" and give it a fixed ip address.
