Look, we are actively working on support for a subset of the happy eyes RFC that works around issues like that. Your system is still likely configured wrongly somewhere, though. I and many others run apt on IPv4+IPv6 systems with non-routable IPv6 and we do not have a problem.
Note that this is not a problem of apt. Your system is configured to try IPv6 first, so any application not implementing happy eyeballs has the same issue. Some applications only try the first address returned by getaddrinfo() - they will fail hard on your system. The key takeaway is to configure your network and/or NSS settings correctly so all applications work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740114 Title: apt's IPv4 fallback in case of a malfunctioning IPv6 connection works horribly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1740114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
