Bug#721792: mtr fails without IPv6 socket
Hi, Yes. This bug is fix committed in the git repository. But I haven't released the next version yet. OK, manual build (b46c5598593) near-fully worked, thanks! I'm interested in this since # mtr -4 www.sueddeutsche.de Unable to allocate IPv6 socket for nameserver communication: Address family not supported by protocol had catastrophic failure (shortly flashing mtr X11 window, then quit) despite -4 option given. (running with # CONFIG_IPV6 is not set here, more or less for archaic-hardware reasons) With the manual build I still get the # mtr -4 www.sueddeutsche.de Unable to allocate IPv6 socket for nameserver communication: Address family not supported by protocol but the window does work. :) Given that I did explicitly specify -4 option (quoting mtr(8): Use IPv4 only. - note only.) I'm a bit puzzled why there's still this IPv6-side error (well, warning) message displayed/processed at all. Seems like slightly erroneous program flow in IPv4-only case? Other than that, very useful stuff! Andreas Mohr -- GNU/Linux.

Bug#721792: mtr fails without IPv6 socket
Hi James, Yes. This bug is fix committed in the git repository. But I haven't released the next version yet. You can do apt-get build-deps mtr and then clone the git repository and compile: git clone https://github.com/traviscross/mtr.git cd mtr sh bootstrap.sh ; ./configure ; make and if all goes well sudo make install That should get you the upgraded version without this bug.
