Comment 47 for bug 313218

clerum: I honestly think this is unlikely to be related to that bug. It will probably help us if multiple maybe-similar-but-possibly-not bug reports aren't conflated into one issue; when that happens it is very difficult to know when we're making progress!

Could people affected by the original problem reported at the top of this bug report please install the libc6 packages from here:

  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cjwatson/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

You can find the necessary public key and instructions here:

This version of glibc incorporates a patch from Fedora which is said to address a similar-sounding issue, and I'd like to confirm whether it also fixes the problems people are encountering here.

It would be nice if anyone with real IPv6 connectivity could also test this to ensure that I haven't broken anything for them. I've had a working IPv6 setup myself in the past, but it's broken at the moment and I thought I'd get this out for testing before spending too long trying to fix it.

Thanks in advance!
