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.
That sounds like like a bug then - when your system has no route to the IPv6 address, any attempts from zypper should fail immediately, and the next mirror can be tried.
And they fail (I don't know the timing for this, inmediate of after time out), but a second mirror is not tried. It asks the user what to do.
A neat solution would be that none of those applications knew that there existed IPv6 addresses, and so could not try them.
Yes that would cure the symptom, but it would be better to investigate the cause, i.e. why those applications don't work like e.g. ping6 (from my earlier posting).
I don't know if they fail intermediately, I think it does. Lets try, forcing ipv6: cer@Telcontar:~> curl -o p --ipv6 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/INDEX.gz curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable cer@Telcontar:~> It fails instantly, that's good. The problem, for some people, is that sometimes it tries to use IPv6. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
