Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-9 Severity: normal Hello, I was affected by the resolver bug that was solved in 2.9-7; as of 2.9-9 the resolver stopped working again. The automatic workaround that is mentioned in the changelog is not working, and "single-request" in resolv.conf doesn't seem to have any effect either.
Here's a dump of the resolver trying to get the address of google.com: 14:11:00.754265 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 45448, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 60) 10.0.0.3.60486 > 10.0.0.138.53: [udp sum ok] 39108+ A? www.google.com.

CNAME www.l.google.com.[|domain] The DNS server (it's my ADSL router) responds NotImp to the AAAA query (it does not support IPv6). The reply (CNAME) to the A query seems correct though. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc3-00329-g0c8454f (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-8 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
