Package: netbase
Version: 4.39
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
>From RFC 3493
> This socket option restricts AF_INET6 sockets to IPv6 communications
> only. As stated in section <3.7 Compatibility with IPv4 Nodes>,
> AF_INET6 sockets may be used for both IPv4 and IPv6 communications.
I don't think there is anything else to add to show that the
net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 is wrong since it makes debian non compliant.
I also remind that it is possible to fill bugreports to upstream authors
of uncompliant software.
Filling bugreports to authors of compliant software is not a good practice.
Have a nice day
