[debian-mysql] Bug#685382: mysql-server: bind :: results in listening to IPv6 only

[Jochen Demmer]

Package: mysql-server
Version: 5.5.24+dfsg-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

when trying to make mysql listen on both interfaces like described here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/ipv6-server-config.html
it will listen on IPv6 ONLY!

$ mysqld --bind-address=::
$ netstat -ltpn|grep -i mysql
tcp6       0      0 :::3306                 :::*                    LISTEN      27119/mysqld

When setting bind-address=:: in the my.cnf it's the exact same behaviour.
Since it is a very basic requirement I consider this a major bug.

Thank you
