apt-get install Error: Method http has died unexpectedly

[hycinth22]

When I try using sudo apt-get install <AnyPackageName> to install any package, it usually reports the following error:

0% [Working]http: ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2583: getaddrinfo: Assertion `(extension ({ const struct in6_addr *__a = (const struct in6_addr *) (sin6->sin6_addr.__in6_u.__u6_addr32); __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[0] == 0 && __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[1] == 0 && __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[2] == __bswap_32 (0xffff); }))' failed.
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process http received signal 6.

However, it works well occasionally(Once or Twice).
The problem is sustained.

When I run sudo service ssh restart

sshd: ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2583: getaddrinfo: Assertion `(__extension__ ({ const struct in6_addr *__a = (const struct in6_addr *) (sin6->sin6_addr.__in6_u.__u6_addr32); __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[0] == 0 && __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[1] == 0 && __a->__in6_u.__u6_addr32[2] == __bswap_32 (0xffff); }))' failed.

@swat199538 - Thanks for the post. But, can you please open a new issue for this using the template?

[henriquedesousa]

@icecream-love, @henriquedesousa and @yunfengsay - #2142, #2120 look similar to this one. Please see if any of the suggestions there work for you. Basically, its some anti-virus (or VPN) software interfering.
