Thanks Brian, This has actually nothing to do with ipv6, but with iptables blocking apt outgoing access. I didnt notice this at first because I hadnt set this machine up in the first place and i was able to ping internet addresses as well as the debian mirrors.
Thanks for helping out. Cheers! Fred. “Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”. Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
