Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apticron

We have apticron installed on a VPS installation of Ubuntu 8.04 hosted
by Parallels Virtuozzo. When the cron.daily tries to run, we are
receiving the following error:

/etc/cron.daily/apticron:
RTNETLINK answers: Address family not supported by protocol
Dump terminated

Searching we found this bug open against Debian:

Following is the ifconfig from the VPS:
