This means your system supports IPv6.

When I run 'ifconfig', I also have this line:
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
Your output means that your system is not configured with a IPv6
loopback interface.

That is normal. The self tests requires a IPv6 loopback interface to
work. The tools that were installed on your system does not.
