** Description changed:
Binary package hint: apt
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04
Package: apt 0.7.9ubuntu17.1
Mirror: gb.archive.ubuntu.com
gb.archive.ubuntu.com has address 194.169.254.10
gb.archive.ubuntu.com has IPv6 address 2a01:450:10:1::10
Have an entry in /etc/network/interfaces defined as follows:
#IPv6
auto he6
iface he6 inet6 v4tunnel
address 2001:470:1f08:xxx::2
netmask 64
endpoint 216.66.xx.xx
ttl 255
#up ip link set mtu 1280 dev he6
up ip route add default via 2001:470:1f08:xxx::1 dev he6
When bringing up with 'ifup he6', or at boot time, the interfaces comes
up successfully, and apt-get update will happy update from a mirror that
has a dualstacked hostname (like gb.archive.ubuntu.com). If for any
reason the he6 interface is taken down, when it is brought up again,
apt-get update will timeout trying to access dual stacked hosts, while
ping/ping6 to the host will work, as well as wget with or without any -4
or -6 switches.
+
+ Update: problem is resolved after rebooting the system, but this isn't
+ ideal; after reconfiguring eth0 a reboot isn't required to carry on
+ using apt on ipv4...
