How's this a bug? IPv4 is usually preferred if both are available because it's more likely to work in the real world. (Applications preferring IPv6 over IPv4 have been the subject of lengthy flamewars on the mailing lists. There are many broken networks where IPv6 is supported up to some point and then eaten before it actually reaches the Internet.) As long as IPv6-only sites resolve properly, I fail to see where the bug is. Thank you for your interest. For me it is a bug, as I'm used to the previous behaviour and most applications still prefer IPv6. In my opinion if IPv6 is broken somewhere it's better to turn it off globally (inconfig) than rely on it for some apps and for some not. After more searching I've found, that it is fixed upstream in Qt 4.4[1]. [1] http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=194539 Interesting. Let's see when/if the "regression!!!" complaints start coming in once we upgrade to 4.4. We may have to revert this change. Or we may not. chax, thanks for the input, and I think your expectations are correct, afaik, konq is supposed to prefer ipv6. However, to get this the proper attention it deserves, it ought to be reported to bugs.kde.org, so upstream developers can comment. When/if you do, please let us know the bug #, so that we can continue to track the issue there. ok, duh, didn't parse comment #2 , looks like it's already being addressed. |
