Every app is allowed to try to use IPv6 if the target has an IPv6 address. After that basically two types of issues can happen:
That's why I think that a "solution" would be telling, for example to bind, that it should not give ipv6 addresses as responses for name queries. That way IPv6 network is not impeded on the local network, but it would be fine on internet, because it would not be attempted.
It really is not an issue for the application (zypper). An application that is IPv4+IPv6 capable should "just work" and be able to ignore whether it is one or the other network.
Zypper can do nothing if it gets directed to IPv6 mirrors only.
Of course, and it shouldn't.
I understood that zypper used metalinks, and could download from several sources simultaneously. That if one failed, it would use another one, not get stuck.
Yes it does. I don't know how it deals with a failed download, but not being to reach a destination should not be an issue at all. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
