Package: gidentd
Version: 0.4.5-7.2
Severity: important


gidentd does not work on a kernel without ipv6 support.

In gidentd.c, in open_proc_files, it unconditionally attempts to open
/proc/net/tcp6, and fails if it cannot.  It does not check if the -4 option
was given (instructing it to do ipv4 only).  Furthermore, the documentation
for the -6 option indicates that it will fall back to ipv4-only if ipv6 is
not available, which is not the case.

This misbehavior seems to have been introduced by 02_231436.dpatch
