 Hi again

 I solved the issue. The fail thing was that gethostbyname($host) at line
 543 on file wp-includes/http.php don´t convert names in ip address and get
 the ip 0.0.0.0 in a mixed ipv4-ipv6 configured host and resolving same
 host names to ipv4 and ipv6.

 I leave off all the ipv6 config in host and dns and leave the host in only
 ipv4, then updates and install they worked.

 Change the ticket to reflect that and leave it open to devs review.
