Public bug reported:
I've got an ethernet-device that only has a configured ipv4 address, and
some auto-generated link-local (aka "scope link") ipv6 address.
Any tool doing a DNS query (and /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved is the
DNS-server listening on 127.0.0.53) for this host's hostname gets back
two addresses: the correct ipv4 address, and a broken ipv6 address.
Unlike on ipv4, it is possible for the same ipv6-address to be assigned
to multiple devices, and therefore the address is only valid in the
context of the eth-device.
Now, if "ifconfig" shows "inet6 fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x20<link>"
then "fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7" is NOT a connectable address, and syscall
connect() typically fails with EINVAL.
To make it a valid address, it needs to be suffixed with a "%" and the device
name, like:
fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7%enp4s0
Either the resolver can return the link name attached to the address
separated with a "%" char, or it needs to ignore link-local inet6
addresses.
