I read somewhere wget would now autodetect whether using ipv6 or not. Saw emerge upgrading wget and suddenly it can't use IPv6 any longer. I didn't see it check for IPv6 anywhere during the configure. Re-implementing the USE ipv6 again seemed to fix it, though! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge wget-1.9.1-r1 Actual Results: wget no longer supported IPv6 Expected Results: working IPv6? :) Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.0-test9) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-test9 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2100+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 distcc 2.11.2 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fstack-protector" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fstack-protector" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://130.230.54.100/gentoo/ http://gentoo.linux.no/ http://212.219.56.131/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm slang readline tetex nas bonobo guile X sdl pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt motif opengl scanner aalib alsa apache2 cdr dga dvd flash gphoto2 imap ipv6 mozilla samba tcltk -arts -berkdb -directfb -gnome -gpm -java -kde -tcpd -ldap -svga"
