Hi, I've recently been allocated an ipv6 block to test ipv6 with. This however has created a problem for me.
# ping6 security.debian.org PING security.debian.org(2001:a78::16) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2001:a78::16: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=117 ms 64 bytes from 2001:a78::16: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=58.3 ms # dig -t AAAA security.debian.org ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P3 <<>> -t AAAA security.debian.org ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40453 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;security.debian.org. IN AAAA ;; ANSWER SECTION: security.debian.org. 263 IN AAAA 2001:a78::16 security.debian.org. 263 IN AAAA 2001:8d8:2:1:6564:a62:0:2 security.debian.org. 263 IN AAAA 2001:a78::1a This seems to work then. Now however I do "apt-get update" but it hangs on security.debian.org. Am i doing something wrong or is security.debian.org doing something wrong (i.e. not making the mirrors available on http ipv6)? On a related note, as a workaround for this problem I went looking for a '-4' option (or alike) to force apt-get to use ipv4 but couldn't find one. Is such an APT config option available?
