Public bug reported: Trying to run mtr in a network without IPv6 results in the following error, even when told to use IPv4 only:
$ mtr -4 name.of.some.site Unable to allocate IPv6 socket for nameserver communication: Address family not supported by protocol Looks like mtr is still trying use IPv6 for name resolution.
