Package: gidentd Version: 0.4.5-7.2 Severity: important
gidentd does not work on a kernel without ipv6 support. In gidentd.c, in open_proc_files, it unconditionally attempts to open /proc/net/tcp6, and fails if it cannot. It does not check if the -4 option was given (instructing it to do ipv4 only). Furthermore, the documentation for the -6 option indicates that it will fall back to ipv4-only if ipv6 is not available, which is not the case. This misbehavior seems to have been introduced by 02_231436.dpatch -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.13-van1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages gidentd depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.2 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii netbase 4.25 Basic TCP/IP networking system gidentd recommends no packages. -- debconf information: gidentd/default_daemon: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
