Package: munin
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6 upstream

When you specify a target via hostname which has both a v6 and v4
address munin tries to connect to the v6 address first and if this fails
bails out completely. This skips data collection for this host,
resulting in lost data points.

This is a regression compared to munin-update 1.4 which 
doesn't have v6 support.

In a plain munin 2.0 environment one could argue that this is a
configuration error but since mixed version environments are quite
common the 2.0 munin-update should allow for dualstack clients specified
via hostname and 1.4 munin-nodes. This would require to either connect
in v4/v6 order or try to connect to all returned addresses instead of
bailing out after the first failed connect.
