Package: glibc
Version: 2.19-18+deb8u3
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Up until 2.22-0experimental1, Debian’s glibc contained a
debian/patches/any/submitted-resolv-ipv6-nameservers.diff patch which
changed __res_state.nscount to contain only IPv4 nameservers. This
breaks applications which check __res_state.nscount for determining
whether nameservers are available, like mtr:
<https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/blob/master/dns.c#L516>.

This concern was already raised in August 2014:
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2014/08/msg00068.html>, I
couldn’t find any follow-ups on that thread, though.

This was also pointed out in
<http://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/1491/> and as far as I can see,
the patch actually never made it into glibc. (Yet the file is named
“submitted-…”, suggesting that it was accepted and merged by upstream.)

The patch appears to be gone in recent versions of the package, but are
there plans for older package versions to backport a fix? This patch
makes mtr unusable on systems with IPv6-only nameservers.
