Description Peter Vrabec 2006-08-23 15:12:50 UTC

Description of problem:
It seems anaconda doesn't resolve IPv6 host.

How reproducible:
linux askmethod
install from http server
use hostname assigned to IPv6
  
Actual results:
Unable to retrieve
http://knedlo6//store/mirror/fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml

>>> cannot determine address family of knedlo6
>>> we don't have reverse DNS for IPv6 yet

Additional info:
Installation works when I use IPv6 address of the host.

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2006-09-01 14:28:40 UTC

Installation from an IPv6 HTTP server *does* work.  What doesn't work is exactly
what's in the error message: reverse DNS.  We have our own resolver in the
loader and I have not yet expanded it to support IPv6 name resolution.  It's on
my list and will be done in time for FC-6.

Try installation with the IPv6 address of the server rather than the hostname.

Comment 3 Peter Vrabec 2006-10-04 10:01:56 UTC

it seems to be fixed in anaconda-11.1.0.104-1
