Now that you say it, there were several people on openSUSE complaining
of a similar problem with updates. So zypper and YaST. Years ago, not
recently.

It used to be a common misconfiguration in hosting to add an AAAA
Record without telling the web swerver to listen on v6. Hosters have
learned since then to configure and to monitor.

At home, I usually don't notice when v4 is broken. My wife does,
because she regularly plays an IPv4 only browser game.
