There are systems only using IPv6. We have four of them. I admit, this is not very common but will be in the next few months. Nothing forbid to have already IPv6-only system. They are not dual-stack or don't use any NAT-PT or transition mechanism to access IPv4 host. > I would not even call this a bug but a feature request but I do not know > what to do about it. Should it be set to "invalid"? Is it a big deal for Ubuntu people to setup an AAAA record and pointing to a friendly mirror already hosting security update and available in IPv6 ? (a virtual host need to be setup on those friendly mirrors) Feel free to move the ticket to the team managing the Ubuntu network/mirror infrastructure.
