While I am confirming this bug, the issue should no longer be relevant. The applicable files have been patched to allow use of IPv6 whether or not it is now available. However, if we decide we need to tell users how to disable it, the following applies:

Disable IPv6 in /etc/default/grub by adding this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1"
and than updating GRUB: sudo update-grub

I would not think we need to do this, however. Users should not be disabling IPv6 anymore, since it should not be an issue now.
