I have an Ubuntu 24.10 instance on GCE with a public IPv6 address but no public IPv4 address. When I attempt sudo apt update, apt only resolves IPv4 addresses for the sources and so the update fails.
The apt sources appear to have IPv6 addresses associated with them, see below.
How could I fix this?
