Sorry, I don't know whether such applications really exist. I just expect that this default value change of net.ipv6.bindv6only from 0 to 1 (introduced from netbase 4.38) would cause that. I cannot imagine other reason to change this default value. >> 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.

Yes. But if any core applications were depend on bindv6only=1, we can not change it's value to 0 any more. So I wish that default value of net.ipv6.bindv6only revert to 0. -- Kazuo Oishi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
