Package: libio-socket-inet6-perl Version: 2.65-1.1 Severity: important [I'm tentatively assigning this bug to libio-socket-inet6-perl because all was well prior to its latest upgrade.]
I've been running with net.ipv6.bindv6only=1, mostly as a historical artifact. For the most part, that setting's suited me fine (which is why I let netbase's stale /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf stand). However, in conjunction with the libio-socket-inet6-perl upgrade that recently hit testing, it kept IPv4 clients from being able to connect to my apt-cacher installation, which constructs an IO::Socket::INET6 object with Listen => 1 and (per a configuration setting I never had occasion to touch) no explicit LocalAddr. I've worked around this issue for now by dropping the custom net.ipv6.bindv6only setting, but would like to request that libio-socket-inet6-perl return to its former behavior in this regard, particularly given that (AFAICT) it gives the option of listening only for IPv6 connections by specifying Domain => 'AF_INET6' (vs. 'AF_UNSPEC', the default). Could you please consider such a change?
