Description

Apparently, this is related to Feature #37693 . The feature was not implemented correctly.

Several problems:

- It is an undocumented change (I didn't see it in the release notes or in the prerequisites)
- It breaks Foreman in organizations that, by policy, disable IPv6.
- Because it is undocumented, the issue occurs halfway through the upgrade process from 4.11 to 4.12. Enabling IPv6 requires a reboot with the new RPMs but without foreman-installer having successfully completed.

The proper solution to the issue would have been to remove the dependencies on IPv6.
