ipv6 and security.debian.org
Hi,
I've recently been allocated an ipv6 block to test ipv6 with. This
however has created a problem for me.
# ping6 security.debian.org
PING security.debian.org(2001:a78::16) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:a78::16: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=117 ms
64 bytes from 2001:a78::16: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=58.3 ms
# dig -t AAAA security.debian.org
; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P3 <<>> -t AAAA security.debian.org

security.debian.org. 263 IN AAAA 2001:a78::1a
This seems to work then. Now however I do "apt-get update" but it hangs
on security.debian.org.
Am i doing something wrong or is security.debian.org doing something
wrong (i.e. not making the mirrors available on http ipv6)?
On a related note, as a workaround for this problem I went looking for a
'-4' option (or alike) to force apt-get to use ipv4 but couldn't find
one. Is such an APT config option available?
Best regards,
Eelco Jepkema
