That's an interesting bug again :)

My test results so far:

* Desktop machine, i386, sid, sid cowbuilder chroot, 2.6.32, ipv6 up
  and running: builds.
* Laptop, i386, sid, sid cowbuilder chroot, 2.6.32, ipv6 only
  Scope:Link: triggers a _different_ bug in the test suite, patch
  committed to svn. Builds with this patch.
* Server, amd64, lenny, sid cowbuilder _and_ sid pbuilder chroot,
  2.6.26, ipv6 only Scope:Link: fails like described in this
  bugreport.
* Openmoko, armel, sid, sid cowbuilder chroot, 2.6.29, ipv6 only
  Scope:Link: fails like described in this bugreport.

## Scratch the above. ##

The perl debugger led me to:

IO::Socket::INET6::_sock_info(/usr/share/perl5/IO/Socket/INET6.pm:73):
73:         if(@proto = getprotobyname($proto)) {
  DB<1> 
IO::Socket::INET6::_sock_info(/usr/share/perl5/IO/Socket/INET6.pm:77):  
77:           $@ = "Bad protocol '$proto'";  

which in turn reminded me that netbase might be a helpful package ...

And indeed, that's all, now the tests pass.


Cheers,
gregor
