I have the same problem. After trying very hard to disable ipv6 completely (in order to get rid of EXTREME LONG download times for chromium git and having an ISP that does not support ipv6), my interface *STILL* has an inet6 addr and the resolver STILL does AAAA look ups :(.

This is insane-- why is there is no way to disable ipv6?!

Dowloading 13.8 GB of repositories (many of them) took me two days; should be possible in an hour.
