Package: dillo
Version: 0.8.6-3
Severity: important

Pointing Dillo at docs.python.org DNS returns an IPv6 address back:

        Connecting to 2001:888:2000:d::a2

However, if IPv6 is enabled on the Debian box, but the currently-
connected ISP doesn't route IPv6, Dillo fails to load the page with:

        Http_connect_socket ERROR: Network is unreachable

In this case, "properly behaved" programs should fallback to IPv4 which
correctly resolves.  Dillo doesn't, making docs.python.org inaccessible
to me unless I totally disable IPv6 on my machine or change browsers.

I can reach docs.python.org just fine with Lynx, Epiphany and
FireFox/IceWeasel (and Safari from my Mac) but Dillo is my preferred
help-browser for Python docs on Debian.
