Hi,

I have the same kind of issues as the one reported previously by
Stepan. Mine is in apt-transport-https which uses libcurl (the gnutls
version). 

Previously, it worked for me against an IPv6 DNS and for a target
resolving only to an IPv6 address but the recent addition of
--enable-ares in the CONFIGURE_ARGS in debian/rules of curl package
breaks IPv6 support.

IMHO, all packages that depends on libcurl might undergo the same kind
of issue, i.e. lack of IPv6 support.

I grabbed the source of the Debian package, read the README.ares file in
lib/ which contains:

     c-ares and ipv6
     ===============

     If the configure script enables IPv6 support you need to explicitly
     disable that (--disable-ipv6) since c-ares isn't IPv6 compatible
     (yet).

So, I just removed the --enable-ares from the CONFIGURE_ARGS in the
debian/rules file, performed a dpkg-buildpackage and installed the fresh
versions. Everything works again.

Cheers,

a+
