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: In Progress Status in “network-manager” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: [Impact] Causes extra messages to spam syslog on every address addition netlink message, or every route change. (Very often) No actual behavioral impact aside from a log which is potentially very rapidly growing due to these warning messages. [Test Case] This requires an Apple Airport device connected in IPv6 tunneling mode. 1) Connect the computer to the Airport device's network. You should see IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL assertions without the patch, and no such messages with the patch applied. [Regression Potential] Changes testing logic for IP address comparison to return silently rather than asserting (because assertions cause the messages to be printed to syslog); so no actual impact on that side except for the messages not being printed out. However, this introduces duplicates checking for the routes and addresses as well, which has a small potential for extra routes to be missing if the duplicate checking fails to consider extra flags which would make the similar-looking routes or addresses actually very different. ---- When both the Ethernet and wlan are connected to an Apple Airport running IPv6.
