Package: ircii
Version: 20030315-1
In ircii when I do a dcc send (no firewall, no NAT/masquerading):
/dcc send nick file.txt
I get this error-message:
*** Unable to getnameinfo: ai_family not supported
Not only Version 20030315-1 (stable) has this problem, Version
20051015-1 (testing and unstable) of ircii is also affected.
It works when I use an explicit set of the "dcchost" variable to the
name of my host:
/set dcchost foo.bar.example
But I think it shouldn't be necessary to set the dcchost variable to do
a dcc send. ircii should use a default, the name of the host it is
running on (or the ip).
But perhaps the problem is a combination of two problems, because when I
do an strace I see that if I use an older ircii on an old woody box
which doesn't use IP-V6 (network functions use AF_INET, not AF_INET6)
then it works without setting the dcchost variable. Perhaps it could be
a problem with getting the name of a host from its IP (using IP-V6)?
