We're supposed to work fine with IPv6. Dual stack should also be fine. I 
know we've done a bunch of testing in this area but apparently something 
fell through the cracks. I suspect this is an installer only issue where 
it's validation logic is not sufficiently robust. Please open a bug 
report so we can address this. I think if you pick one of the addresses 
and let the install proceed everything should just work. Please let us 
know if it doesn't. I'm not surprised we still have some IPv6 bumps to 
smooth out, it doesn't get exercised as much as IPv4. FWIW we fully 
expect IPv6 enabled systems to be dual stack.
