Package: network-console Version: 1.53 Severity: normal Tags: d-i patch Dear Maintainer,
in IPv6-only environments, the "Start SSH" invitation does not include the IPv6 address to log in to the installer system. Below is a patch that extends the postinst script to detect an IPv6 address if no IPv4 address could be found. Thanks and kind regards, Hendrik
