#21760: Update package list not working in IPv6 only environment
-------------------------+------------------------

I am using OpenWrt as WLAN access point in an IPv6 only network with DNS64
+ NAT64.
When selecting the "Update lists" button under "Software" I get the
following errors:
{{{
wget: can't connect to remote host (78.24.191.177): Network is unreachable
...
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download
http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/Packages.gz,
wget returned 1.
}}}
Wget tries to access the server by an IPv4 literal which is impossible
from an IPv6 only network.
When I try to download the file with wget and the link on another computer
inside the same network, wget (GNU Wget 1.16.1) is able to download the
file, due to the NAT64 + DNS64 translation in my network.
Possible solution, replace the numeric IPv4 specific literal
"78.24.191.177" by the symbolic server name "downloads.openwrt.org".
Although the server is still IPv4 only, the symbolic server name would
allow DNS64 + NAT64 translation for IPv6 only networks.
