Package: apt

Severity: normal

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:

My bookworm workstation has been running IPv6-only for almost two years now
