Bug#336684: cupsys: CUPS does not support IPv6
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-12
Severity: wishlist
The current cupsd does not allow using a Listen directive with
an IPv6 name, e.g. ip6-localhost as an alias for ::1. This
means it's not possible to listen for incoming connections
on an IPv6 address.
httpGetHostByName does not support IPv6 name lookups, AFAICT.
Regards,
Roger
