Bug#653623: apt: DNS resolution fails on IPv6-only systems (Something wicked happened resolving 'ftp.us.debian.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6
On a system with only IPv6 addresses, apt-get or aptitude update fails
with errors like this:
Something wicked happened resolving 'ftp.us.debian.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
DNS resolution works fine outside of APT, for example with host or
dig. Here are my network configurations:
ip addr show:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
