Package: mtr
Version: 0.75-2
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I just discovered that mtr has some problems with IPv6 enabled hosts
when using the GUI. Try the following:
1) enter "mtr ipv6-host" in shell -> works
2) enter then an IPv4 only host Hostname input line -> doesn't work
3) quit mtr
4) enter "mtr ipv4-host" in shell -> works
5) enter then an IPv6 enabled host in Hostname input line -> tracing
IPv4 part of IPv6 enabled host
So, something is broken, at least for 2). One could argue if 5) might be
OK or the expected behaviour, but I believe that mtr should query the
AAAA records and trace for the IPv6 hostname, regardless of whether you
started with an IPv4 only host first.
Regards,
Ingo
