Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.21
Severity: minor

The use of '/sbin/ip -f inet6 addr show scope global' in line 86 yielded
the same error as in bug #463585 in version 1.1.20.
So I upgraded to 1.1.21, but it is still not fixed. As bug #463585 is
archived, i send this new bug report.

I suggest adding a ' 2> /dev/null' as for the IPv4 case above. The bug
still exists in version 1.1.25 (the code moved to line 90).

It is rather annoying to get a mail with the error message
'RTNETLINK answers: Address family not supported by protocol
Dump terminated' every day, yet apticron works apart from that. Please
fix this.

I use a virtual private server without IPv6, if that is of any importance.

Thanks in advance,

pilotinternet
