Are you using your router for the DNS server? The new glibc fires out an A and a AAAA DNS query in parallel, and that some buggy DNS server return an error for the AAAA query using the id of the A query. If that is the case, could you try to disable IPv6 by blacklisting the ipv6 modules. Also can you try if a different server in resolv.conf (e.g. the ones of your provider) in /etc/resolv.conf? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
