Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.8.3-5 Severity: important File: libvirt Tags: ipv6
Libvirt supports the creation of virtual networks via virsh or virt-manager. These virtual networks are implemented as a bridge using the bridge-utilities. IPv6 is disabled by default on these bridges and the usage of IPv6 addresses on the virbrX devices is impossible: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/virbr1/disable_ipv6 1 # ip addr add 2001:dead:beef::1/64 dev virbr1 RTNETLINK answers: Permission denied IPv6 should not be disabled. Then IPv6 addresses may be used: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/virbr1/disable_ipv6 # ip addr add 2001:dead:beef::1/64 dev virbr1 Currently IPv6 cannot be used with virtual networks and KVM, QEMU or XEN on Debian systems. There is no switch to enable IPv6 by default. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers squeeze-updates APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libvirt-bin depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii libavahi-client3 0.6.27-2+squeeze1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.27-2+squeeze1 Avahi common library ii libblkid1 2.17.2-9 block device id library ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap-ng0 0.6.4-1 An alternate posix capabilities li ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.48-5 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libnl1 1.1-6 library for dealing with netlink s ii libparted0debian1 2.3-5 The GNU Parted disk partitioning s ii libpciaccess0 0.12.0-1 Generic PCI access library for X ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsasl2-2 2.1.23.dfsg1-7 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libudev0 164-3 libudev shared library ii libuuid1 2.17.2-9 Universally Unique ID library ii libvirt0 0.8.3-5 library for interfacing with diffe ii libxenstore3.0 4.0.1-2 Xenstore communications library fo ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility Versions of packages libvirt-bin recommends: ii bridge-utils 1.4-5 Utilities for configuring the Linu ii dnsmasq-base 2.55-2 A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP ii ebtables 2.0.9.2-2 Ethernet bridge frame table admini ii gawk 1:3.1.7.dfsg-5 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii iptables 1.4.8-3 administration tools for packet fi ii libxml2-utils 2.7.8.dfsg-2 XML utilities ii netcat-openbsd 1.89-4 TCP/IP swiss army knife ii qemu 0.12.5+dfsg-3 fast processor emulator ii qemu-kvm 0.12.5+dfsg-5 Full virtualization on x86 hardwar Versions of packages libvirt-bin suggests: ii policykit-1 0.96-4 framework for managing administrat -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
