Bug#470289: libc6: getaddrinfo() with disabled ipv6

[Andre Woebbeking <Woebbeking@web.de>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-9
Severity: important

Hi,

I disabled ipv6 with 

alias net-pf-10 off

in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases but getaddrinfo() doesn't care and sends ipv4
AND ipv6 queries to my router. I think this is a bug. Is there a way to turn
off the ipv6 queries?

This is important to make KDE4 work with some "broken" routers like
FritzBox which don't reply to some ipv6 queries.

I also reported this upstream
(http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5798) but the issue was
marked as WORKSFORME.


Cheers,
André
