Bug 807830

Thanks for your report, on a fully updated Fedora 16 system I am not able to reproduce this error. Do you still get into trouble?

Sure does;

Is this ok [y/N]:

Still not able to reproduce this error. 

Is it related to IPv6?

Might be this issue:
 https://code.google.com/p/snmp-session/issues/detail?id=5

Are you able to test the patch provided there?

I can't reproduce this either. Tried on F16-x86_64 and F18-x86_64, neither show this failure:

perl-5.14.2-198.fc16.x86_64
perl-Socket6-0.23-7.fc16.x86_64

[spot@f16 ~]$ sudo smokeping --nodaemon

I suspect that you have local files from CPAN which are being used instead of the ones from the RPM... anything in /usr/local/lib64/perl* or /usr/local/share/perl* ?

Terje,

After applying the patch you cite, I get this;

allen@8ball ~
$ sudo smokeping --nodaemon

I have 3 Fedora 16 x86_64 machines I use regularly, it's happening on all of them. I can provide a complete package list (at 4566 right now) if needed.



Tom,

The only non-RPM based perl doodad I am using is alien:

Tom,

Maybe these conditions aren't getting met on your system?


 147     if (eval {local $SIG{__DIE__};require Socket6;} &&
 148        eval {local $SIG{__DIE__};require IO::Socket::INET6; IO::Socket::INET6->VERSION("1.26");}) {
 149         import Socket6;
 150         $ipv6_addr_len = length(pack_sockaddr_in6(161, inet_pton(AF_INET6(), "::1")));
 151         $SNMP_Session::ipv6available = 1;
 152     }


Not sure why they'd get met on mine; I thought that I have completely disabled IPv6.

But it looks like some basic plumbling is still happening;

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

p33p1     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr C8:60:00:02:16:63  
          inet6 addr: fe80::ca60:ff:fe02:1663/64 Scope:Link

I recently update from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 via yum and now it works fine.
