Bug 172571 – SYNC host selection with(out) ipv6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Thomas Matthijs (RETIRED) 2007-03-28 16:00:16 UTC]

Around line 3938 in emerge
a random ip is chosen from the host you have in SYNC
if the host has an ipv6 ip and you do not have python merged with the ipv6 useflag it will return an invalid entry and try to sync to it

The 'addrinfo' prints as (10, 1, 6, '', ('2001:6a8:3c80:0:203:baff:fe39:f931', 0, 0, 0)) under python +ipv6
and as (10, 1, 6, '', (10, '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00 \x01\x06\xa8<\x80\x00\x00')) under python -ipv6

Making it add '10' as the host ip in that case

Created attachment 114809 [details, diff]
use socket.AF_INET as the default family for socket.getaddrinfo

I think that this patch might solve the problem.  Could you please test it?
