Inherited a proxmox server. No ipv6 resolution

I recently inherited a new proxmox server. It seems to have some ipv6 issues.
When I run "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade" it hangs. If I run
"apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update && apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true upgrade && apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true dist-upgrade" it works.

I need help troubleshooting this. Please help.

Edit: After waiting for a long time (approx 10 mins), this command worked. What could be causing this?
Rerunning the command results in a similarly long wait time.

All other ipv6 devices on the same network work just fine.

Hint:
For the next upgrade of your PVE server, please omit the 'apt-get upgrade' step. It is stated everywhere to use dist-upgrade, if you just use upgrade you will break something someday.
