I agree that many people will remain on IPv4 for years to come, but I still don't really see what the problem is other than a slightly problematic error message when certain applications try to use IPv6?
If you try ping6, it behaves absolutely correct:
ping6 download.opensuse.org connect: Network is unreachable
This is presumably from the connect() call.
Well, the problem is that some applications try to connect via IPv6 instead of trying another server that has an IPv4 address. One such is zypper/yast. Right now, I'm using a /root/.curlrc file with the line: - --ipv4 because curl is what zypper/yast use to download files, but I have doubts about it working. It failed once, but I can't confirm it (no log / confused log). Another application I have some problems with is leafnode, it does attempt IPv6 addresses after IPv4 failed, instead of going to the backup news server immediately. I also suspect problems with svn (subversion) but this one I haven't verified. A neat solution would be that none of those applications knew that there existed IPv6 addresses, and so could not try them. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
