Package: auto-apt-proxy Version: 14.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hello, in my environment the name `apt-proxy` resolves to both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. In `/usr/bin/auto-apt-proxy` the hostname `apt-proxy` is resolved via the following command: getent hosts apt-proxy But the above command omits all IPv4 addresses, if at least one IPv6 address is found. This seems to be the quirky - but intended - behavior of the `getent hosts` command: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10859 This prevents `auto-apt-proxy` from working in environments, where IPv6 is disabled for some reason (e.g. a docker instance started by gitlab-runner configured for IPv4-only). There, IPv6 addresses are returnd by `getent hosts`, but the IPv4-only network setup renders these addresses unreachable. Maybe something like the following command could be useful instead? getent ahosts ix.de | awk '{print $1}' | sort --reverse | uniq This should return all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a given hostname. `--reverse` seems to result in IPv6 addresses being on top.
