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!
Fred.
“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the
concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in
“free beer”.
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
distribute, study, change and improve the software.
