Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.8 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I was recently helping to debug an issue with APT (which turned out to be just left-over IPv6 proxy configuration) and I have noticed that the APT output prints raw IPv6 addresses without brackets which is very confusing. Err http://ftp.cz.debian.org unstable Release.gpg Could not connect to 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329:8049 (2001:db8::ff00:42:8329). - connect (110: Connection timed out) Would it be possible either to use bracket form, e.g.: Could not connect to [2001:db8::ff00:42:8329]:8049 (2001:db8::ff00:42:8329). - connect (110: Connection timed out) Or (which might be better and easier since it doesn't require any address-or-ipv6-address detection) use full URI as specified in the Acquire::http::Proxy directive, e.g.: Could not connect to http://[2001:db8::ff00:42:8329]:8049 (2001:db8::ff00:42:8329). - connect (110: Connection timed out) It would really help the debugging. Also it might be a good idea to say something about proxy unavailable - (that's not IPv6 specific), e.g.: Could not connect to proxy http://[2001:db8::ff00:42:8329]:8049 (2001:db8::ff00:42:8329). - connect (110: Connection timed out) Thanks for considering this in the future, Ondrej -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2012.4 ii gnupg 1.4.12-7 ii libapt-pkg4.12 0.9.7.8 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 apt recommends no packages.
