Description Pavol Šimo 2012-09-25 13:59:47 UTC 
Result of resolving the bug #735889 is the file openssh-5.8p1-getaddrinfo.patch

This patch breaks openssh client in environments where IPv6 is enabled, but no global IPv6 address is assigned (this is very common scenario - using only link local addresses).

$ ssh -6 fe80::4a5b:39ff:feca:3db1
ssh: Could not resolve hostname fe80::4a5b:39ff:feca:3db1: Name or service not known

$ ssh -6 fe80::4a5b:39ff:feca:3db1%eth0
ssh: Could not resolve hostname fe80::4a5b:39ff:feca:3db1%eth0: Name or service not known

Result without the patch:
$ ssh -6 fe80::4a5b:39ff:feca:3db1%eth0
