net-misc/jwhois-4.0 gives "Error creating socket" when querying any IP address. net-misc/jwhois-3.2.3-r1 works as expected.

Created attachment 159595 [details, diff] fix ipv6 socket connection failure fallback there was an error in the handling of the connection of the socket. if your kernel doesn't support ipv6 it didn't properly fall back to ipv4.
(In reply to comment #2) > there was an error in the handling of the connection of the socket. if your > kernel doesn't support ipv6 it didn't properly fall back to ipv4. actually i should probably post the patch when i wrote it since my memory was faulty. the issue is actually that it on systems that support getaddrinfo() it wouldn't detect when the connect() call succeeds and would work by accident if the final connect() succeeded. the final address that getaddrinfo() returns is usually ipv6 so on systems that don't support ipv6 it will fail and on systems that do support ipv6 it'll make several aborted attempts.
Created attachment 283903 [details] new ebuild with ipv4_ipv6 patch
Created attachment 283905 [details] ipv4_ipv6 patch file for new ebuild 4.0-r1
But why this patch isn't in official portage!?!
fixed in 4.0-r1
