Thanks for the report. Can you try with Nmap 5.30BETA1, available from http://nmap.org/download.html and report whether that fixes it? There are a couple post-5.00 items in the CHANGELOG which I hope have resolved this: o Fixed handing of nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf so it could handle entries containing more than 16 bytes, which can occur with IPv6 addresses. Gunnar Lindberg reported the problem and contributed an initial patch, then Brandon and Kris refined and implemented it. o Added support for connecting to nameservers over IPv6. IPv6 addresses can be used in /etc/resolv.conf or with the --dns-servers option. The parallel reverse DNS resolver still only support IPv4 addresses, but it can look them up over IPv6. [Ankur Nandwani] If that works for you, maybe you can get Debian to update to the latest Nmap. Or I suppose they could backport the IPv6 changes, but there are hundreds of other important changes in the latest versions of Nmap.
