Public bug reported: In a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 20.04.1, netcat -vlp 8000 fails with the following error message:
netcat: getnameinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution Name resolution, both forwards and backwards, works as expected elsewhere (e.g., ping or nslookup). There's an upstream Debian patch that changes getnameinfo() errors into warnings that should suffice. I'm not sure whether the underlying getnameinfo() error is inherited as well, but neither Debian Buster or Sid have such an error, nor does Ubuntu Server 18.04.5. ** Affects: netcat-openbsd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900197 Title: netcat fails with an error with -v To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcat-openbsd/+bug/1900197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
