I Think this is important.
/etc/hosts should contain:
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
These lines were added some time ago on my Woody box by a netbase upgrade.
If I run dpkg-reconfigure netbase on a box installed with d-i, the lines are
again added (netbase 4.16).
