Package: libc6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I'm suffering from exactly this issue in a forum post: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=91558 It says: "There is something wrong with networking in Wheezy but I can't identify it. I first experienced a problem shortly after updating a mixed Squeeze/Wheezy box almost one year ago. Suddenly Kmail refused to connect to my email service provider claiming the host could not be found. I could ping the host, but Kmail insisted it didn't see it. I submitted a bug report which as far as I know has never been addressed. The problem remains. And it's not just Kmail. Sometime after an update of Iceweasel, Iceweasel began having issues DNS issues. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't, though it seems to be the same sites that repeatedly miss (mostly news sites, and my email provider). Oddly enough, installing Tor solved the problem. Then Tor broke and I had to remove it. I was desperate so I tried using Konqueror. Same problem (among others). So I did what any experienced Windows user would, I wiped the HD and reinstalled a fresh copy of Wheezy. I still have the same problem. Neither Konqueror nor Iceweasel will connect to certain sites, though they connect to others (it's about 50/50). "Unknown host" and "Server not found" respectively. I tried Kmail again after nearly a year to see if it had been fixed. Same problem. I finally decided to try out Chromium. Guess what? Chromium has no issues whatsoever. Been using it for several months now painlessly. I am, and have been, using KDE exclusively. I have "no proxy" selected under network settings. /etc/resolve.conf is automagically configured to my ISPs router address 192.168.1.1. I have tried networking using both Network Manager and the traditional /etc/network/interfaces methods. I'm using the latter now as I seem to have fewer issues with it. Network Manager is installed but disabled. (I did purge it once while trying to solve this problem without any effect)." Then he is told to disable IPv6, however, my machine is running inside an IPv6 network so I can do NOTHING! I NEED IPV6 FOR NETWORK CONNECTIVITY! More details about my machine: Debian wheezy, KDE desktop, bind9 installed locally. /etc/resolv.conf: domain miklcct.csproject.org search miklcct.csproject.org nameserver ::1 nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 2001:470:20::2 nameserver 74.82.42.42 There is no network-manager. Absolutely not. local bind9 is configured to serve dns64 in my local network. My machine is a gateway. This issue occurs everywhere including kmail, konqueror, iceweasel, or even aptitude! but not chromium, so I believe this is a library problem. And please don't ever tell me to upgrade my system to testing/unstable. I NEED A ROCK SOLID SYSTEM WHICH DOES NOT BREAK FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS. I am happy to issue workarounds on my system.
