would ping6 use data from /etc/hosts then? It seems to me that this is more likely a bug in ping6 if it circumvents the system’s normal ways of resolving names. If you simply do not want to use ipv6, maybe it can be disabled system wide, and maybe this would prevent libnss-myhostname from returning ipv6 names.
