--- Begin Message ---Package: general Severity: important Dear all, I've found something that is most propbably a bug in Linux's resolv system, when trying to open a specific page with Epiphany (but any other browser will fail as well, please try out yourself). To reproduce, please visit <http://www.deviantart.com/> and search for "SNES". On the first results page a picture called "SNES World HD" should appear. Try to click this picture. Your browser will fail to resolv the hostname and even ping won't be able to: $ ping KeR-.deviantart.com ping: unknown host KeR-.deviantart.com However, nslookup returns the right IP address and this page even loads under both Windows XP and Mac OS X: $ nslookup KeR-.deviantart.com Server: 134.147.57.130 Address: 134.147.57.130#53 Non-authoritative answer: KeR-.deviantart.com canonical name = www.deviantart.com. Name: www.deviantart.com Address: 8.10.77.140 I believe this bug is caused by the dash character in the domain name, but I don't have any further knowledge of Linux's resolv system. As you are the experts, please point me to where I can help to trace this bug.
