Package: unixodbc
Version: 2.2.4-11
Severity: normal

Many connection bugs. These probably could be seperate bugs but I think
they all fall under the same piece of connection code,

1. I want to connect to a localhost PostgreSQL data source, but I cannot
since unixodbc tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 and fails. ::1 is never
tried even though it is the second address that localhost resolves to. I
can connect to localhost 5432 with telnet and it connects to ::1.

2. Doesn't seem to use addresses in /etc/hosts file. Setting hostname to
an address in /etc/hosts but not in DNS will generate an error that a
given host cannot be found.

3. Setting hostname to ::1 displays a message that ::1 cannot be
resolved.

PS. If connection code is part of the driver, then this might need to be
reassigned to odbc-postgresql driver.
