Bug Description
security.ubuntu.com and most archive.ubuntu.com has no IPv6 support and ipv6.security.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Check that you have IPv6:
$ ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.
64 bytes from fx-in-x68.
64 bytes from fx-in-x68.
^C
--- ipv6.google.com ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.876/10.
2.) Test IPv6 support on security.
$ ping6 security.ubuntu.com
unknown host
$ ping6 ipv6.security.
unknown host
The Ubuntu repo and the Ubuntu security repo especially should have IPv6 support.
Ubuntu does support ipv6 (https:/
Debian has IPv6 already on their repos btw.:
$ ping6 security.debian.org
PING security.
64 bytes from wieck.debian.org: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=29.1 ms
64 bytes from wieck.debian.org: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=30.1 ms
Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu better by reporting this bug. /rt.ubuntu. com/>.
The issue was reported earlier against update-manager by bug #241305. However, because it is not a bug in update-manager, but more a feature request, the bug has been marked as Invalid and an entry was created in the Request Tracker with the number #2485, which is located at <https:/
However, it is unlikely that IPv6 support will be introduced any time soon.
I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #241305 still to make sure you can follow any possible future discussion over there and to keep our bugs collection nice and clean.
