Yes. These changes will NOT AT ALL fix the AAAA timeout problem. But some people reported there were "other" (unspecified?) issues than AAAA timeout. glibc 2.5 (and kernel 2.6.17.2) will fix a bunch of other potential IPv6-related inconviences: It will not cause connection timeouts when trying to connect to a dual-stack server from a dual-stack private-IPv6(ULAs) and IPv4 network, as IPv4 will be attempted first. Similarly, if you have sone clueless XP/Vista box advertising a 6to4 prefix on the network: glibc 2.5 will prioritize IPv4 (unless the final destination has a 6to4 address), whereas glibc 2.3 would prioritize IPv6. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ -- IPv6 should be disabled by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
