Package: gnome-connections
Version: 49.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.baryluk at gmail.com

It looks like the thing does not supprot IPv6 address literals.

Added VNC connection using "[2a02:168:a:b::123]:5900"  (also without
port), but then it says that it cannot resolve address.

Same with link-local addresses fe80::669d:99ff:fecc:aabb%foobar

Regards,
Witold
