You've got your IPv6 address via Router Advertisement (mngtmpaddr
dynamic, limited address lifetime).
And you don't need anything but a Linux kernel to get it.

If you don't need IPv6 on that interface for some reason - add the
following to your /etc/network/interfaces:

iface enp1s0 inet6 auto
	accept_ra 0
