My provider does not provide IPv6 Internet access. But zypper stubbornly tries to connect the update server by IPv6 address:
I think this happens because the DNS gives back IPv6 addresses. I don't know if it is possible to configure bind not to return such addresses.
Would be nice to get the root cause and not some workaround to move the problem into the future. Every app is allowed to try to use IPv6 if the target has an IPv6 address. After that basically two types of issues can happen:
- the app does not retry using IPv4 at all -> the app needs to be fixed - the network is misconfigured and the app has to wait for a timeout until it can try IPv4
So the basic question is in this case. Is there an IPv4 connection at some point (after timeouts) or none at all?
None at all (with zypper or yast). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
