When listing images or creating an lx zone, I get the following error: WARNING: Connect timeout

Running __ZADMDEBUG=1 zadm list-images the full output is:

Are you sure this was not due to a temporary unavailability of one of the image catalogues or a network issue?

I just tried it now and it worked.

Can you please try again? If it still fails we could increase the http client timeout in zadm

I've had this problem for the past week or so, after updating from an older version. I tried reinstalling zadm as well, but no luck.

The issue was caused by a misconfiguration of IPv6. zadm (and perl in general) prefers IPv6, so it was not downloading the indices, while the rest of the system was chugging along nicely with IPv4.

omniosorg / zadm
