I have asked on #debian-buildd, and got the answer that all buildds have their own hostname in /etc/hosts.

It really seems like krb5 is not quite as ipv6-*only*-happy as one would like to think. > So, you're suggesting that I fix this by build-depending on > libnss-myhostname [linux-any] assuming tests are enabled? > If so, that's easy. That might or might not help to swipe the problem under a large enough carpet. I'll note that on buildds using sbuild with unshare backend, the setup will look slightly differently. More testing might be required. Chris
