Package: netbase
Version: 5.3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
first of all, I do apologise if I got the wrong package, please move
as appropriate. This is so basic I didn't know where to start.
On this newly installed stretch system localhost resolves to '::1' by
default, making local servers that only listen on IPv4 inaccessible
(by name). If this is the intended behaviour -- what would be a clean
way to revert to the old one? (For now I've just edited /etc/hosts.)
Regards,
Christian

It is the intended behaviour. Fix your client if it does not correctly
fall back accordingly to /etc/gai.conf. E.g.:
nc -s 127.0.0.1 9999 &
telnet localhost 9999
