Package: java-common
Version: 0.34
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Since my last upgrade of java, all java applications that use networking
stopped working. After some research I found that this is because of
a change that makes java start to use ipv6 instead of ipv4.
I have to following interfaces (ifconfig):
br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1a:92:3a:4a:c1
inet addr:192.168.2.4 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

And the following routing info (route):
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0
default ansset.localdom 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0
Starting 'java' with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true solves the problem
for that particular application, but not entirely because some
applications invoke java again themselves, ie a restart or subprocess.
It's not nice to have to edit scripts of packages to get them to
work again (scripts are not configuration files).
Basically, all java networking got broken by this change (unless you
have and use ipv6 interfaces).
