packages.broadcom.com has no AAAA record / IPv6 support

[chrisnew]

Description of Issue/Question

After discovering the sudden and fun breaking change (salt-bootstrap:#2027) of deprecating repo.saltstack.io recently, we tried to follow the community’s effort to patch the install script and to install salt manually. However, some of our infrastructure is IPv6-only.

Setup

IPv6-only deployment.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Try to install salt-minion from packages.broadcom.com in an IPv6-only network.

The core issue can be reproduced as shown below:

$ dig -t aaaa packages.broadcom.com

; <<>> DiG 9.18.28-0ubuntu0.24.04.1-Ubuntu <<>> -t aaaa packages.broadcom.com
