Package: dcc-client
Version: 1.2.74-2
Severity: minor

Hi.  I didn't even realize I had installed dcc-client, apparently I had
because of the dependency from spamassassin.  I run logcheck and suddenly I
was getting huge emails from it saying:
Jun  4 07:28:24 chinchilla dccproc[9925]: socket(UDP): Address family not
supported by protocol

It turns out that this is due to dccproc turning on ipv6 mode by default.
(I fixed it by adding the line 'IPv6 off' to /etc/dcc/map.txt)  I would
think that it's more common to not have IPv6 support than it is to have
it...  If I were to pick a default I would say turn it off.  Obviously the
package could try to determine if ipv6 support is needed, and/or ask the
user too.  I think for most people having logs full of error messages by
default is a poor choice - this is obviously just my own opinion though.
