Package: yafc Version: 1.1.1.dfsg.1-4 Severity: normal Tags: ipv6 Yafc doesn't work on IPv6 only hosts. When trying to connect to a dualstack (IPv6 + IPv4) host yafc tries to connect to the IPv4 address, even when the host it runs on has no IPv4 address. When there is no A record for the host which it should connect to, yafc reports "No address associated with name".
