I think that an application which depends on net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 is broken (at least as Linux application). And I think that an application which depends on bindv6only=0 might have a problem on portability and it might be a bug, but it should work with Debian as ever. Setting bindv6only=1 and breaking these programs, including outside of Debian packages, would not be a good choice. -- Kazuo Oishi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
