On a Debian/stable machine: cassis:~> strace -o str.out telnet -6 www.vinc17.net 80 Trying 2001:4b98:dc0:45:216:3eff:fe9b:eb2f... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable zsh: exit 1 strace -o str.out telnet -6 www.vinc17.net 80
which is OK since IPv6 doesn't work here, and str.out contains: [...] socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, IP_TOS, [16], 4) = 0 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(80), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2001:4b98:dc0:45:216:3eff:fe9b:eb2f", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 ENETUNREACH (Network is unreachable) [...] But on my Debian/unstable machine on the same network, the "telnet" freezes and I need to type Ctrl-C: ypig:~> strace -o str.out telnet -6 www.vinc17.net 80 Trying 2001:4b98:dc0:45:216:3eff:fe9b:eb2f... ^C zsh: interrupt strace -o str.out telnet -6 www.vinc17.net 80 while I also expected a ENETUNREACH error. The str.out file contains: [...] socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 setsockopt(3, SOL_IP, IP_TOS, [16], 4) = 0 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(80), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2001:4b98:dc0:45:216:3eff:fe9b:eb2f", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) [...] (the ERESTARTSYS is due to the Ctrl-C, otherwise the connect() system call freezes). Where does the problem come from? The www.vinc17.net is just an example. Same problem with the Debian mirrors, for instance. This is really annoying as this introduces a huge timeout for apt-get. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
