Description Andreas Steinmetz 2012-08-26 23:49:21 UTC

When lftp is installed with use="socks5" it is linked against dante.
dante doesn't support IPv6 so any access to sites with AAAA as well as A records through socks will fail. This is remedied by putting the following line in /etc/lftp/lftp.conf:

set dns:order inet inet6

This line should be added to /etc/lftp/lftp.conf on initial lftp installs when the "socks5" use flag is set.


Reproducible: Always

We install the default configuration. Ask upstream to change that, please.
