Description/Reproduction: Trying to perform an IPv6-based installation using a preseed file that should be retrieved from an IPv6 URL results in this installer error: "The file needed for preconfiguration could not be retrieved from http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:10:100::86:49/ubuntu/name/zesty.preseed The installation will proceed in non-automated mode." The parameter in the parmfile looks like this: preseed/url=http://[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:10:100::86:49]/ubuntu/name/zesty.preseed I also tried escaping the square brackets, but that also doesn't work In syslog you see the following error: Apr 4 10:22:22 main-menu[465]: (process:481): expr: warning: '^.*\[[:a-fA-F0-9]*\]': using '^' as the first character Apr 4 10:22:22 main-menu[465]: (process:481): of a basic regular expression is not portable; it is ignored Apr 4 10:22:22 main-menu[465]: (process:481): http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:10:100::86:49^G/ubuntu/name/zesty.preseed: Bad port number.
