Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-pkg mailing list
<pkg at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 238264: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg-1.11.0 doesn't work with an IPv6 only
repository
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238264



--- Description ---
pkg-1.11.0 doesn't work with an IPv6 only repository.

% sudo pkg upgrade
Updating example repository catalogue...
pkg: http://pkg.example.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/local/meta.txz: No address record
repository example has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: http://pkg.example.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/local/packagesite.txz: No address
record
Unable to update repository example
Error updating repositories!

The cause of this problem is that libfetch shipped with pkg is compiled without
INET6 definition.  I confirmed that compiling libfetch with INET6 defined fix
this problem.
