Ok so this looks related to the default scripts that happen when you install a package. They setup new users for the package and automatically start the init.d scripts.

Have you checked to see if it started itself?

[ispyisail]

unsure but I suspect not

the nest step came up with an error as well

Those files are related to IPv6 which we don't build in the images.
