IPv6 - gpgkeys [solved]

Hi all,

I am unable to run pacman-key --refresh-keys as I guess I don't have IPv6 support. :

gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: Failed to connect to 2001:1868:2003::12: Network is unreachable

My router is setup with shorewall, not shorewall6.  Also, I am running pdnsd which appears to not have any ipv6 support compiled in.

Re: IPv6 - gpgkeys [solved]

You probably have a rogue IPv6 router in your network, typically a Windows box with ICS enabled?

Can you show output of "/sbin/ip -6 addr list" and "/sbin/ip -6 route show" ?

Re: IPv6 - gpgkeys [solved]

This is the error I'm getting from another network, basically the same thing:

gpg: Total number processed: 0
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.

Re: IPv6 - gpgkeys [solved]

I updated my DNS server to support IPv6, but am still getting the same error:

gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: Failed to connect to 2a01:4f8:190:2ffe::99: Network is unreachable
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.

I will have to check what else needs to be done with supporting IPv6 as apparently it can't get to that network?

Re: IPv6 - gpgkeys [solved]

You don't have any globally routable IPv6 address, nor a route to any outside network, so apps should fallback to IPv4 automatically.

The first line is probably just a warning you can ignore – informing you it can't do IPv6 so it will fall back to IPv4 (it shouldn't really print this if IPv4 connection succeeds.)

The next line is an application level failure (not finding relevant PGP keys), but this is not related to IPv4/IPv6.

So it's an application issue not a network issue.
