I still get the "Bad host name" error for IPv6 hosts, both on etch and sid. I even reinstalled libio-socket-inet6-perl to no avail. Researching a bit more, the error seems to come from libwww-perl (confirmed by a simple test case), which is actually bug #306914. Something else I've noticed is that with the version, bzip2 and gzip complain about the translation files ("34% [3 Translation-en_US bzip2 0] [Waiting for headers]bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file") which didn't happen on the other versions (though it looks like with older apt-cacher versions, aptitude doesn't even request them, which is a bit odd). cmn -- Carlos Martín Nieto | http://www.cmartin.tk Hobbyist programmer |
