Bug#419851: eclipse: doesn't use a running ssh-agent for cvs

[Mario Ponciano]

Hello,

Although this bug has been posting for a long time. I have the same problem
with CVS Checkout and Eclipse Update.

But it's a Debian/Kernel problem,  because some applications use RFC3493
Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6 [1].
And the kernel default value net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 breaks RFC3493.

More details here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576633

I solved with 2 things:

1- Install lib32nss-mdns:
 aptitude install lib32nss-mdns - More details about this library
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lib32nss-mdns

2- Configure the parameter ipv6.bindv6only in /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf.
nano -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0
Reboot System
