Description Romain Riviere 2007-08-17 15:27:46 UTC 
tracepath6 -n is supposed to return numeric values only. Hence it should resolve FQDN to their numeric ipv6 address. Apparently it fails to do so.

tracepath6 -n 2001:xxxx::xxxx works normally though, so it's just a matter of solving that getaddrinfo I guess.

Confirmed on 3 different hosts and archs. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
getaddrinfo: Resolver Error 0 (no error)

Expected Results:  
Resolve address then tracepath6 -n

In all cases, resolv.conf contained at least one valid nameserver entry, and that nameserver was able to resolve the FQDN to its AAAA record.

this still a problem with iputils-20100418 ?
