Re: can't apt-get update: Could not create a socket for 2001:8d8:580:400:6564:a62:0:2

Thanks Brian, This has actually nothing to do with ipv6, but with iptables blocking apt outgoing access. I didnt notice this at first because I hadnt set this machine up in the first place and i was able to ping internet addresses as well as the debian mirrors. Thanks for helping out. Cheers! Fr
