[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#732110: nagios-plugins-contrib: check_rbl error when nameserver available only in IPv6

[Benoit Friry]

Package: nagios-plugins-contrib
Version: 4.20120702
Severity: normal

Hello,

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver ::1

$ ./check_rbl -H 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net  -w 0 -c 0 -s bl.spamcop.net
Use of uninitialized value $sock in hash element at ./check_rbl line 157.
Use of uninitialized value $sock in hash element at ./check_rbl line 157.
CHECK_RBL OK - 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net BLACKLISTED on 0 servers of 1 | servers=0;0;0 time=0s;;

[edit resolv.conf]

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver ::1
nameserver 127.0.0.1

$ ./check_rbl -H 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net  -w 0 -c 0 -s bl.spamcop.net
CHECK_RBL CRITICAL - 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net BLACKLISTED on 1 server of 1 (bl.spamcop.net) | servers=1;0;0 time=0s;;


I don't understand why check_rbl does not work with a nameserver available
only in IPv6.  I can accept the requirement.

Nonetheless the test should fail if it cannot resolve correctly.

I extracted the script from the debian package in unstable (8.20130824),
and it presents the same behaviour.

Regards,
Benoit
