You might want to try setting the dummy interface up in libvirt. That may workaround it for now at the expense of polluting the ifconfig listings.
** Patch added: "Start dummy bridge interface 'up' rather than 'down'" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/862136/+attachment/2480654/+files/Bring-up-dummy-interface.patch ** Tags added: apport-collected running-unity ** Description changed: When defining a network with an IPv6 address, libvirt fails to allocate the address properly and the launch of the supporting dnsmasq processes fails.
