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.)
The system will always try both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It just happens that only the last failed attempt is printed as the error by zypper. There's a bug for this. Other things that come into play are re-directs to mirrors. For some reason we appear to have an extraordinary issue with the networks after the disk issues last week.
