Bug#70002: libc6: sockaddr_storage definition non-standard
Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.3-10
Severity: normal
It seems that the glibc version of sockaddr_storage differs from ones found
in other Unices as well as the relevant standards. It should look like this:
struct sockaddr_storage {
u_char ss_len; /* address length */
u_char ss_family; /* address family */
/* and bunch of padding */
};
(There are disagreements about the names of the first two members though.)
So this needs be fixed.
