I hate to nag, but this should really be a high-priority. IPv6 is
completely unusable on majority of networks, since no routers that I
know actually broadcast a hop limit.

Given that it has been fixed upstream for more than half a year, the
package should be updated ASAP.

Title:
  IPv6 hop limit set to 0

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 I found that my IPv6
  networking no longer worked. It turned out that this was because my
  hop limit was set to zero:

  # sysctl -a | fgrep eth0.hop_limit
  net.ipv6.conf.eth0.hop_limit = 0

  which in turn seems to have been cause by a known problem in the
  network manager:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756534
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737252

  Since this has already been fixed in the GNOME project, can Ubuntu
  15.04 please take the upstream fix?
