Title:
  No IPv6 address for changelogs.ubuntu.com

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
