I am seeing this with an openSUSE 12.1 system at home, and also a Factory system at work:
% host download.opensuse.org download.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.134 download.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::13
And then, when running zypper patch or zypper up, I see
Retrieving: repomd.xml [error] Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable
Alas, my provider nor that network at work support IPv6. Still, my system has IPv6 enabled since roaming around on different networks, IPv6 may be present, or even necessary there.
(This does not happen all the time, sometimes if I retry a bit later the system uses IPv4 and everything works.)
Now, is this just a setup problem and I should simply and unconditionally disable IPv6?
Or are some parts of our update or network stack in need of some adjustments?
For the time being, unless this is just me running into this, should we disable IPv6 on download.opensuse.org?
If you modify /etc/resolv.conf and add public name servers that support IPv6, you will bypass any problems such as you describe. I use Google's name servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
