Package: libsoup2.4-1
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
Hey,
it seems that libsoup prevents me from having correct IPv6 access. I
have a working IPv6 setup, but none of my browser will use it because
they are all webkit (and thus libsoup) based. A quick way to reproduce
is to go to www.kame.net with midori, epiphany or chromium. The famous
“dancing turtle” isn't dancing.
I've tried the test programs in libsoup sources and it indeed seems that
IPv4 is preferred:
cor...@hidalgo: getent hosts www.kame.net
2001:200:dff:fff1:216:3eff:feb1:44d7 orange.kame.net www.kame.net
cor...@hidalgo: ./dns www.kame.net
Name: www.kame.net
Address: 203.178.141.194
I think it's a fairly important issue, considering IPv6 is a release
goal and IPv4 is likely to fade away during Squeeze life time.

Ok, I guess I'm bitten by the fix applied for #468801. My IPv6 addresses
are indeed 6to4 and so IPv4 is preferred. That quite sucks, but it's not
really libsoup fault.
I'm closing the bug for now and will try to tune my gai.conf to fix
that, sorry for bothering.
