Looking around, seems like this error is generated from os.c on line
625:
#ifndef SIOCGIFCONF_GIVES_ADDR
if (ioctl(vs, V_GIFADDR, (char *)&ifreq) < 0)
log_write(0, LOG_PANIC_DIE, "Unable to get IP address for %s interface: "
"%d %s", ifreq.V_ifr_name, errno, strerror(errno));
#else
ifreq = *ifr;
#endif
I wonder if this needs to be re-written as lo0 usually isin't configured
for Ipv6. Maybe we can have a better workaround for unconfigured
addresses such as lo0's:
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
