Adam (adsb) points out that the test code in lib/rpc/unit-test/client.c [1] uses code that does not support IPv6(-only). I.e. gethostbyname for a name that has no IPv4 address will fail. Please try fixing this before adding workarounds? Chris [1] https://sources.debian.org/src/krb5/1.20.1-6/src/lib/rpc/unit-test/client.c/#L127

I have asked on #debian-buildd, and got the answer that all buildds have their own hostname in /etc/hosts.

That might or might not help to swipe the problem under a large enough carpet. I'll note that on buildds using sbuild with unshare backend, the setup will look slightly differently. More testing might be required. Chris
Bug#1063648: krb5: FTBFS on arm64, armel and ppc64el with "Can't resolve hostname" in dh_auto_test
Dear maintainer, This bug is (apparently?) currently preventing the amd64 build of 1.20.1-6. I apologize if this is already understood (by the way, is there somewhere on [1] or elsewhere to see if the build is being retried?). I'm also assuming I am not authorized to "give back" and trigger another build attempt. So, I'm asking for someone to please "give back" the build to the buildds, so that we can spin the roulette wheel and hopefully get a buildd with an ipv4 address.

Krb5 is very v6-happy. So, you're suggesting that I fix this by build-depending on libnss-myhostname [linux-any] assuming tests are enabled? If so, that's easy. (I don't remember the order of build profiles and architecture specifications in a build depends but can go look that up.

I gave back the failed builds and they succeeded on a different buildd. I also notice that the original Architecture: all build of 1.20.1-5 failed on x86-conova-02, and succeeded when retried on x86-grnet-02. I think this supports the theory that this is really "FTBFS on IPv6-only buildds". smcv

I believe there is consensus that we consider "localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1" to be a reasonable thing to demand from all buildds as part of the build-essential interface. I am unsure whether there is consensus that "the result of gethostname() resolves to some address of the local machine" is also a reasonable thing to demand from all buildds as part of build-essential: /etc/hosts typically makes this true, but is not *guaranteed* to do so. On Linux, packages can ensure that it happens by build-depending on libnss-myhostname [linux-any], if necessary. However, even with both of those, if the krb5 test suite (or protocol) is resolving the local hostname with AF_INET (IPv4-only), and with either AI_ADDRCONFIG or NULL hints, then that will not yield any results on an IPv6-only system for the reasons discussed in #952740 and related bug reports. A workaround is to resolve with AF_UNSPEC, which currently disregards AI_ADDRCONFIG, but that is, itself, arguably a bug (#854301). If I'm understanding the krb5 issue correctly, the version of this in krb5 is more troublesome than the related issues seen in the GLib test suite, because the GLib test suite would be happy with localhost always being resolvable to 127.0.0.1 (as requested in #801362), but the krb5 test suite wants to be able to resolve the local host name as well (so resolving #801362 would not be enough). smcv

I am pretty sure that there was a previous discussion of this but I could not construct a search query to find it quickly (maybe Sam can do better than me?). In short, the test suite, as for the protocol itself, assumes that it can resolve the server's hostname to an IP address; for the test suite the server will be the local machine, and so this becomes an assumption that what the "machine" (or container/etc.) thinks its hostname is will resolve with the resolver on that machine. In this case it looks like a bare name (without domain) that is not localhost, and presumably a local resolver with no search path set. I do not remember whether the previous discussion reached a firm conclusion about what can reasonably be expected from a build/test environment in this regard. -Ben
