Package: apt Version: 2.2.4 Severity: wishlist Tags: ipv6 Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** I use Debian on a server with multiple upstream internet links. Some of these links have peering point IPs. It happens fairly often that apt-get traffic uses the source IP in a peering point range and then downloads fail. Please consider adding a feature so I can configure apt-get to specify a source IP or interface on the server. For example: traceroute has a -s option: "Chooses an alternative source address." -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- (no /etc/apt/preferences.d/* present) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdb.list present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ookla_speedtest-cli.list present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/saltstack.list present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_ZA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debian-archive-keyring 2021.1.1 ii gpgv 2.2.27-2 ii libapt-pkg6.0 2.2.4 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libgnutls30 3.7.1-5 ii libseccomp2 2.5.1-1+deb11u1 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libsystemd0 247.3-6 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20210119 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> pn aptitude | synaptic | wajig <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.20.9 ii gnupg 2.2.27-2 ii powermgmt-base 1.36 -- no debconf information
