[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#895903: [torsocks] AAAA replies from Tor not handled

Package: torsocks
Severity: important
torsocks version : 2.2.0-1+deb9u1
Tor now returns IPv6 addresses when hostnames are resolved, but torsocks
cannot handle this case.
To reproduce:
torsocks -d nc ipv6.test-ipv6.com 80
[I'm using torsocks against the SOCKS5 proxy in TorBrowser.]
This makes it tricky to report bugs using
torsocks reportbug-ng
as bugs.debian.org will sometimes resolve to a AAAA, causing the whole
program to abort with no error message.
