Package: wget Version: 1.12-2.1 Severity: minor Hi.
I do not what benefits this brings but wget apperantly only shows only first 3 addresses of given hostname. # host www.debian.org www.debian.org has address 82.195.75.97 www.debian.org has address 86.59.118.148 www.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:41b8:202:deb:216:35ff:fec4:6340 www.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:858:2:2:214:22ff:fe0d:7717 # wget http://www.debian.org/ --2011-02-08 16:06:27-- http://www.debian.org/ Resolving www.debian.org... 2001:858:2:2:214:22ff:fe0d:7717, 2001:41b8:202:deb:216:35ff:fec4:6340, 82.195.75.97, ...

More than 3 are rearly seen. More often in case of IPv6 there would be 2 or 4 actually. Also even there is more, then this will be extreamly reare, and why not just be correct and display all for user information. This can happen confusing to user if for example reconnection will take place. Or when wget will be restarted again, now showing something different ....

Why bother with limits, and possibility of some bugs in more complex code :) Regards, Witek -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.utf8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pl_PL.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wget depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4 SSL shared libraries wget recommends no packages. wget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
