It looks like this is a bug in the detection of the interface address
family that has been introduced in the previous upload. I guess that the
ipv6 module is not loaded (probably blacklisted), so your network
interface has no IPv6 address (even link local).

"modprobe ipv6" should workaround your problem until we rollout a fix.
