Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12-11
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
libvirt-bin fails to start KVM vm's if IPv4 is not available on the host.
Happens
with libvirt-versions in unstable and the one in experimental (1.0.3-1) - Spice
and VNC video.
The cause seems to be the standard resolver not allowing IPv4-lookups when on a
host without IPv4 address/route and libvirt assuming it is always available,
which
is a false assumption.
To make it work I have to add a bogus IPv4-address to the host which causes
other
problems in IPv6-only environments.
