Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.6.12
Severity: normal
After my latest update, i was no more able to connect to apt-cacher.
I first found that apt-cacher was no more opening an IPv4 tcp socket, but only
an IPv6 one.
Then i looked into the perl code and found this :
sub io_socket_inet46 {
# Test if IPv6 is available and use if it is
if (eval{local $SIG{__DIE__} = 'IGNORE'; # Prevent log verbosity
require IO::Socket::INET6}){
import IO::Socket::INET6;
debug_message('Using IPv6');
return IO::Socket::INET6->new(@_);
}
else {
return IO::Socket::INET->new(@_);
}
}
that means : "if IO::Socket::INET6 is an installed perl module, then i want to
do IPv6 and i don't want to do IPv4 anymore"
I don't know why libio-socket-inet6-perl was installed on my host, but I don't
have anything configured for IPv6 in my network, by the way
So i just removed this package, that i don't care about, and everything goes
right now.
So what ? I don't know anything about IPv6, but the way it is used by
apt-cacher leads to no more IPv4 connectivity, so there might be something
wrong somewhere.
Hope this helps.
Léopold.
