[Bug 1798313] Re: traceoute6 gives error sendto: Invalid argument

[Aaron Dudek]

I have hit this issue too. via iputils-tracepath under ubuntu 18.04. There are actually 2 issues with this, one with ipv6 address and the other to an ipv6 hostname.
https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/68
https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/81

I also do not see how this is fixed in the version when the issue wasn't fixed by the iputils maintainer until after 10 Nov 2016.  
This is a new issue that is not fixed in the released version of 18.04 iputils-tracepath or any iptuils utility based on the s20161105 build of iptuils.
