Dear Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers
I am reassigning a [bug](https://bugs.debian.org/888649) to package
ruby-httpclient, since a user of apt-listbugs is having issues with an
IPv6 connection.
It seems that a similar issue shows up without ruby-httpclient (when
apt-listbugs uses the HTTP library from Ruby standard library), but
ruby-httpclient produces a more verbose error message.

I have too little experience in debugging HTTP connection issues, and
zero experience with IPv6: I am not sure whether the problem lies in
some IPv6 link misconfiguration or in an actual bug of the Ruby HTTP
client libraries.

Could you please help the user in the investigation?

Thanks for your time and dedication!
Bye.
