Commit message
Qualify IPv6 link-local addresses with interface scope.
Description of the change
This is a (possible) fix for the "link-local addresses unusable with apt" issue that was noted in the source code to apt-avahi-discover.
In most cases (even when only one interface exists on the system), IPv6 link-local addresses are not usable unless scoped with an interface name. See RFC 4007 section 11 for more details.[1]
Linux uses interface names as zone_id values, so all we need to do (in theory) is append "%<interface-name>" to the link-local address.
I have not tested this yet, but I am in the process of setting up an IPv6-only test environment due to a customer requirement, so I may get a chance to test it in the coming weeks/months.
