Package: libio-socket-inet6-perl
Version: 2.54-1
Severity: important
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

While trying to find out why my apt-cacher doesn't connect to
ftp.at.debian.org (which is available both via IPv4 and IPv6) anymore
I stumbled about a weird behaviour in IO::Socket::INET6: If a host is
reachable over IPv6 the socket creation fails if Domain is specified
as AF_UNSPEC (which is the default).
The attached script produces the following output for me:
$ perl sock.pl
Trying to connect to www.google.com ...
... via unspecified ...
Success!
... via IPv6 ...
Error: IO::Socket::INET6: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
... via IPv4 ...
Success!
Trying to connect to ipv6.google.com ...
... via unspecified ...
Error: IO::Socket::INET6: bind: Invalid argument
... via IPv6 ...
Success!
... via IPv4 ...
Error: IO::Socket::INET6: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
Trying to connect to ftp.at.debian.org ...
... via unspecified ...
Error: IO::Socket::INET6: bind: Invalid argument
... via IPv6 ...
Success!
... via IPv4 ...
Success!
Trying to connect to www.sixxs.net ...
... via unspecified ...
Error: IO::Socket::INET6: bind: Invalid argument
... via IPv6 ...
Success!
... via IPv4 ...
Success!
That means:
AF_UNSPEC works for IPv4-only hosts (www.google.com) but fails for both
IPv6-only hosts (ipv6.google.com) and for hosts with both IPv4 and
IPv6 (ftp.at.debian.org and www.sixxs.net). AF_INET and AF_INET6 work
as expected.
Since apt-cacher has worked until ~1 week ago it's possible that this
problem in libio-socket-inet6-perl is triggered by something else,
but still the results are an important bug IMO.
Please tell me if there's anything else I should test or any
information I should provide.
Cheers,
gregor
