It happens ever time. My v6 nameserver is issued by an Apple Airport operating in tunnel mode. There is only a single nameserver issued and it is the address of the Airport (much as the v4 nameserver is the address of the Airport).
The RA issued by the router has a single recursive DNS entry in it. I'm also seeing the Ubuntu machine issue a 'port unreachable' ICMPv6 message to any v6 DNS responses. So the Ubuntu issues DNS query to port 53 over v6. The router responds back to the UDP source port Ubuntu then issues a 'port unreachable' ICMPv6 message. I'm not seeing that on the parallel v4 query. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996032 Title: Constant _ip6_config_add_nameserver: assertion `IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL (nameserver, &nameservers[i]) == FALSE' failed messages in syslog Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: When both the Ethernet and wlan are connected to an Apple Airport running IPv6.
