Hiya,

I already have IPv6 in my kernel, indeed it's actually all working fine ; I can create and accept IPv6 connections with no problems.

traceroute6 for example actually works fine:

traceroute to k.kaizo.org (2001:470:103:68::2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 section9.kaizo.org (2001:470:944b:abcd::225) 0.298 ms 0.117 ms 0.119 ms 2 spbkaizo-1.tunnel.tserv5.lon1.ipv6.he.net (2001:470:1f08:514::1) 17.652 ms 21.689 ms 20.913 ms 3 gige-g4-6.core1.lon1.he.net (2001:470:0:67::1) 22.327 ms 21.376 ms 28.828 ms 4 10gigabitethernet2-3.core1.nyc4.he.net (2001:470:0:3e::1) 91.110 ms 90.114 ms 2001:470:0:128::1 (2001:470:0:128::1) 86.620 ms 5 10gigabitethernet1-2.core1.chi1.he.net (2001:470:0:4e::1) 136.391 ms 135.493 ms 134.498 ms

 7  k.kaizo.org (2001:470:103:68::2) 113.879 ms  112.886 ms  111.908 ms

It's simply ping6 and tracepath6 that are broken.

The attached iputils.spec and diff fix this issue.

Regards,

Simon.
