The issue is that apt-cacher is listening for IPv6 only. Have a look
at how other daemons, for example ssh, are listening to :

leo@stellie:~$ netstat -na | grep :22 
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN     

You can see that ssh is listening for both IPv4 and IPv6 incoming
connections. So maybe, the bug is there : you don't have to choose
between IPv6 and IPv4, but you have to do both, if possible.
