Well, I still don't see that it makes a difference. Wrt zypper, IPv6 is tried when IPV4 isn't available. The end result is the same = no download.
Sometimes zypper tries an IPv6 address, when there is another server that has IPv4. This is wrong.
Yes, that ought to be a bugreport.
Anyway, it's not up to you to tell an application which addresses to look up and how. If you really want to reject all DNS replies for a AAAA query, maybe iptables can help.
Some applications have indeed a switch to tell them to use only IPv4.
Yes, although mostly network oriented apps where it is more important.
Zypper does not. As zypper does not, I search for ways to fool zypper into not using IPv6, like not getting IPv6 responses from the DNS system.
Well, I can only say that I have never had any such IPv6 issues (and yes, everything here is enabled for IPv6). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
