Public bug reported:
When doing a clean install (in this case of Ubuntu 24.04, but also with
22.04 and possibly even 20.04, but that has been a while…) I
consistently run into the following situation:
1) I manually configure IPv4
I open a console and check the network settings. `ip addr` shows the
address and `ip route` shows the subnet route and default gateway.
2) I manually configure IPv6
I go back to the console and check the network settings again. `ip addr`
shows both IPv4 and IPv6, `ip -6 route` shows the IPv6 default gateway,
but `ip route` now only shows the subnet route. The default gateway is
gone.
This causes delays when the testing of the repository is done
(nl.archive.ubuntu.com in my case) as IPv4 packets don't get out and
only IPv6 works. Later, when trying to import SSH keys from Github it
completely fails because Github doesn't support IPv6 yet, and the system
that is being installed doesn't have an IPv4 default gateway.
This problem persists after boot, as the default IPv4 gateway isn't
written to the netplan config:
```
sander@cloud:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for sander:
root@cloud:~# cd /etc/netplan/
root@cloud:/etc/netplan# ls
50-cloud-init.yaml
root@cloud:/etc/netplan# cat 50-cloud-init.yaml
# This file is generated from information provided by the datasource. Changes
# to it will not persist across an instance reboot. To disable cloud-init's
# network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}
network:
ethernets:
ens160:
addresses:
- 185.54.92.4/26
- 2a00:8642:1000:1::4/64
nameservers:
addresses:

search: []
routes:
- to: default
via: 2a00:8642:1000:1::1
version: 2
root@cloud:/etc/netplan#
```
Manually adding the correct gateway fixes everything:
```
root@cloud:/etc/netplan# cat 50-cloud-init.yaml
# This file is generated from information provided by the datasource. Changes
# to it will not persist across an instance reboot. To disable cloud-init's

Fixes the issue, and the system runs fine after that.
