Comment 32 for bug 313218

With regard to the specifics of this bug report, we would prefer, if possible, to make any necessary further fixes to glibc and other similar resolver code rather than returning ipv6 to its previous modular state in the kernel. Remember that this has only happened in a development cycle, which is a good time to try to iron out these kinds of bugs that may affect several packages.

sojourner (or anyone else who is actually experiencing a *real* IPv6 problem; Shirish does not appear to be experiencing such a problem and as far as I can see is simply asking for help configuring IPv6), could you please post the output of 'ifconfig'? What I'm interested in is whether there is a global-scope address on any of your network interfaces.
