Any news on fixing the "Checking for an update failed." problem?

I was never able to reproduce it. Any time I believed I had reproduced it, I found out it was due to local DNS caching on my system (something that is not common for an ordinary user to do).

So, even if I see old and new reports about it, I have no way to check the issue.

The most common explanation would be a DNS issue, but:
$ host ooo-updates.apache.org
ooo-updates.apache.org has address 40.79.78.1
ooo-updates.apache.org has address 95.216.24.32

and if I force either of the two IPv4 addresses everything works normally.

The only thing that I haven't tested is IPv6, but there are no signs that we have a permanent issue here (well, if the server is down for one hour some users will likely get the warning and report it, but this is something that can simply happen).

If someone can provide a predictable way to reproduce the issue consistently, solving it will likely be trivial.
