this. As can be seen from the error message, ldirectord uses it
unconditionally in line 3172, as part of sub check_nntp. The ldirectord
package lacks a dependency on libio-socket-inet6-perl.

Net::DNS switched from IO::Socket::INET6 to IO::Socket::IP, which is
shipped as part of Perl core since oldstable (Jessie), and deprecated
the use of IO::Socket::INET6, so I dropped the dependency.
