Thanks for your well written bugreport and a very happy Christmas to you, too, sir. Please proceed to the checkout counter and accept a full refund and our sincere apologizes.
Unfortunately, I am neither a ubuntu developer, nor do I drink kool-aid apart from the seasonal appropriate hot cocoa, but as an APT developer who is paid splendidly by the many thanks of people like you for investing his freetime it feels like my obligation to pay back some times: Its not our fault that you misconfigured your system and throw money out the window. APT wouldn't be using IPv6 if your system wouldn't say that it is available. Talk to your ISP: You pay them a lot for your router and network usage presumably. Enough to make non-broken IPv6 available to you – you will need it sooner than later. APT also performs fallbacks – not quickly, we are working on that, but it eventually does: Too quick and naive a fallback and we break for systems which have high latency, but otherwise working configuration. So, as this "bugreport" adds exactly nothing to improve the situation expect perhaps "helping" that I and other volunteers are never going to look at bugs written by "fucking insane morons" I am closing as "opinion" for fucks sake. P.S.: apt isn't launchpad either. These guys likely wouldn't appreciate the nice ton of your message either, through. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740114 Title: apt-get update hangs forever trying to fetch data via a non-working IPv6 connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1740114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
