As seen in dselect:
*** Std net ftp 0.17-13 0.17-13 The FTP client
The error that is seen in konqueror with ftp://server6/
An error occurred while loading ftp://server6:
Could not connect to host server6.
Firefox errors with "The connection was refused when trying to contact
server6"

It could be that its refusal is generating errors that are being
interpreted as name service errors but actually aren't.

I will get that changed right away, and report back to the list if it
makes any difference.

Ok, I'll try that too. I think it's a good time for the base Debian
services to support v6, but I know the developers have tons of stuff
on their plates already.
I will double check the Debian v6 pages to see if there is any mention
of packages "not supporting", which I don't remember seeing when I
read them.
