http://russell.ballestrini.net/smartos-ubuntu-guest-apt-get-not-working-because-ipv6
SmartOS Ubuntu guest, apt-get not working because IPv6. Turns out I don't have IPv6 setup properly in my network so when apt attempts to connect to the Internet it tries IPv6 and fails.

He taught me the fundamentals of kindness and guided me on the righteous path. He gave great advice, and even though I didn't always listen, he respected my thoughts and wishes. If he ever caused an accident he would always admit fault. He emits honor, honesty, and courage and never lies to or manipulates the people around him. Although we have had our differences, I think about you each day. I love you. Thank you and happy father's day, dad. Sun 21 June 2015. Did you enjoy reading this?
