Bug Description
eth0 was not connected. The network connection was through wlan1 which, as you can see, only has a link local IPv6 address. IPv6 is disabled for the connection in NetworkManager (and there's no IPv6 here anyway). It doesn't affect anything (that I've noticed except curl (which affects rmadison, when affects syncpackage, which is a pain). This just started recently, so it's some kind of regression. Rmadison fails for both Debian and Ubuntu, so I don't think it's something related to the server on the distant end.
$ rmadison -u debian pyspf
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2607:f8f0:
