This is only on my laptop, not on my server (also on feisty)
Both apt-get dist-upgraded from edgy eft as it happens.
So - a hosts file entry for ip6-localhost exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10:02:05 <~> $ grep ip6-localhost /etc/hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback v6.example.com
The localhost interface has ::1 (ipv6 localhost) bound to it
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10:02:08 <~> $ ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

ssh and telnet to services on ip6-localhost dont work.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10:02:11 <~> $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ssh: ip6-localhost: Name or service not known
While I can ssh just fine to ::1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10:02:34 <~> $ ssh suresh@::1
The authenticity of host '::1 (::1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is b2:3f:c4:12:25:7b:a4:8b:26:1a:71:90:20:45:9f:89.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '::1' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Funnily enough ping6 to that same hostname works
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10:02:27 <~> $ ping6 ip6-localhost
PING ip6-localhost(ip6-localhost) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ip6-localhost: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
64 bytes from ip6-localhost: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.042 ms
--- ip6-localhost ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.038/0.040/0.042/0.002 ms
This is insane.. worked just fine on edgy and on feisty beta.
