Buddy Build shows an unexpected pass:

 time="2025-06-25T13:49:25Z" level=debug msg=" 6/35 ping -6 -c1 localhost         UNEXPECTEDPASS  0.02s"

The test failure is due to the patch file ping_test_ipv6_localhost.patch. It is not related to any changes introduced by this PR.

However, it appears that we shouldn't include this patch in the 3.0 release, as in the 3.0 release, 'localhost' is mapped to IPv6 addresses by default.
