Package: bind9
Severity: normal
A pure IPv6-only system shall be set up. Therefor the "named.conf.options"
file is modified to make "named" listen on IPv6 but not on IPv4:
/etc/bind/named.conf.options:
-----------------------------
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
listen-on { none; };
listen-on-v6 { any; };
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
};
As long as there is the IPv4 loopback address (127.0.0.1) assigned to
the "lo" network interface the "named" starts.
If the IPv4 loopback address is removed from the "lo" network interface
the "named" does not start and shows the assertion failure:
ifiter_ioctl.c:236: REQUIRE(iter->pos < (unsigned int) iter->ifc.ifc_len)
Exactly the same behaviour and assertion message is seen with "lwresd".
ifconfig lo:
------------
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:38201 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Hi,
the bind9 bug list grew too much and the Debian BIND team cannot
simply test all the reported bugs against versions not in stable, so
this is mass bug close, as either the version is no longer relevant
(because of old-old-stable 9.8.x or old-stable 9.9.5 or even older
version of bind9) or the bug was already fixed.
However, if you can reproduce the bug with a current version in stable,
please use Debian BTS 'found <bug> <version_you_reproduced_the_issue>'
command to retag the bug and reopen it.
Cheers,
Ondrej
