Bug#420301: libc6: IPv6 transport fails for resolver

2007-04-22 Thread Tim
Hello,

> strace output might help to diagnose this.

Thanks for the tip, I should have thought of it.  I just realized my
problem... the 'host' package does not support IPv6 transport.  After
fully debugging the issue with other tools, I found that things are
working fine.  Please close this bug, sorry for the trouble.

thanks,
tim

No, I'm not sure this bug was triggered by a 2.5 upgrade.  This is the
first time I tried using IPv6 for DNS transport.

When I've tried using it, my resolv.conf looks like:

-=-=-=-=-=-
#options inet6
search sentinelchicken.org
nameserver 2002:CFAC:5504:2::0
=-=-=-=-=-=

(Of course, I've tried with the options line uncommented as well.)

I have not modified my nsswitch.conf from its default, and it contains:

-=-=-=-=-=-
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd: compat
group:  compat
shadow: compat

hosts:  files dns
networks:   files

protocols:  db files
services:   db files
ethers: db files
rpc:db files

netgroup:   nis
=-=-=-=-=-=

Is there anything I can do to debug this directly on my system?  I don't
see anything in my system logs, which I didn't really expect to.

thanks,
tim

I am not able to reproduce the problem. I am using an IPv6 nameserver in
/etc/resolv.conf on a dozen of machines running glibc 2.5 without problem.

Are you sure the bug has been triggerd by an upgrade to glibc 2.5? Then
could you send me the content of /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf?

Bye,
Aurelien

Bug#420301: libc6: IPv6 transport fails for resolver

2007-04-21 Thread Tim
Package: libc6
Version: 2.5-2
Severity: normal


Hello,

When I specify an IPv6 address as my nameserver, resolution fails instantly and
a packet trace reveals no traffic.  For instance if I specify only:

nameserver 2002:CFAC:5504:2::0

in /etc/resolv.conf, no queries go out.  Not sure if this is a glibc 
compile-time option to disable this feature, but I'm pretty sure that glibc has 
supported IPv6 transport on resolution since version 2.2.  Using the dig 
command 
directly (with the -6 option) of course allows me to use IPv6 as transport, so 
I 
know v6 routing and other config is set up right.

I have tried this with both 'options inet6' on and off.  Let me know if I can
provide any more information.
