[Bug 1376088] [NEW] No IPv6 address for changelogs.ubuntu.com

[MegaBrutal]

Public bug reported:

Release upgrade with do-release-upgrade is impossible on IPv6-only
hosts, as changelogs.ubuntu.com has no IPv6 address.


# do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:	12.04
Codename:	precise

$ cat /etc/update-manager/meta-release
# default location for the meta-release file

[METARELEASE]
URI = http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release
URI_LTS = http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts
URI_UNSTABLE_POSTFIX = -development
URI_PROPOSED_POSTFIX = -proposed

$ ping6 -c 5 changelogs.ubuntu.com
unknown host

$ host changelogs.ubuntu.com
changelogs.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.95.36


This could probably be worked around by setting a suitable mirror in /etc/update-manager/meta-release, but I think there is a reason why the release upgrader doesn't use the repo mirrors in the first place.

I have no idea who's in authority for this, but it would be best if
Canonical would add an IPv6 address to changelogs.ubuntu.com.
