Actually I don't think this is the same bug. I cannot reproduce this bug 629899 concerning apache2, while the bug with wwwoffle has occurred every time since I upgraded to libc6 2.13. > >and with the kernel 2.6.39-1: > > > >Sun Jun 5 22:50:14 2011: Starting HTTP cache proxy server: wwwoffled > >wwwoffled[5199] Warning: Failed to get name/IP address for host 'xvii' > >[No address associated with hostname]. > >Sun Jun 5 22:50:14 2011: (offline mode) done.

I've reported the wwwoffle problem against wwwoffle because apache2 on the same machine doesn't have any problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629923 wwwoffle may do something special, and the maintainer could reassign the bug to libc6 (with a testcase) if it appears that the problem comes from libc6. I suggest that you report a bug for the problem you get. If you can reproduce it, you'll have at least more information than me... -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
