Hi!

> APT: a rough initial test was done, that added a tor+http shim in

/usr/lib/apt/methods IIRC, to add torsocks in the loop. It worked fairly
well, but one of the late live-build scripts insists on running APT,
which fails in this configuration.

Now that torsocks is unmaintained (see extra thread), I am not sure it
is a good idea to rely on torsocks to torify apt.

Afaik torsocks has no IPv6 support, only an IPv6 leak bug. Tor
developers are currently developing IPv6 support for Tor. One day you
may want to support IPv6 in Tails?
