Bug Description
== Comment: #0 - IRINA YASHINA - 2016-02-18 07:31:18 ==
I tried to install Ubuntu16.04 with preseed file.
When IPv6 address was used in preseed/url:
preseed/url=http://[fd00:9:
the error message with wrong url appeared in installer (error scrinshot),
the preseed file couldn't be used.
In the syslog we can see the following messages with incorrectly changed url:
Feb 18 07:33:31 main-menu[501]: DEBUG: resolver (libc6-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored)
Feb 18 07:33:31 main-menu[501]: INFO: Menu item 'network-preseed' selected
Feb 18 07:34:48 main-menu[501]: (process:517): http://[fd00.boeblinge

The syslog is attached.
Here are the output of the 'fetch-url' and 'wget' commands in shell:
~ # fetch-url http://[fd00:9:
No such file or directory
~ # wget http://[fd00:9:

2016-02-18 09:17:37 (883 MB/s) - 's83lp25.preseed' saved [3390/3390]
With IPv4 address in preseed/url no problems were found,
the preseed file was successfully applied in installer.

I've checked the last version of the installer:
http://
The bug still takes place.

I have opened a Debian bug to address this issue. A problem fix is also attached.
