[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#637843: network-manager: NetworkManager spews frequent ipv6 related assertion failures to log

[David Gibson]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.4.0-2
Severity: minor
Tags: ipv6


When on my home network, which has full IPv6 connectivity, I get
frequent messages from NetworkManager in the log, like this:

Aug 14 19:56:10 yookeroo NetworkManager[1512]: nm_ip6_config_add_nameserver: assertion `IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL (nameserver, &nameservers[i]) == FALSE' failed

It seems to be just cosmetic, since everything appears to be working, but the messages are annoying.
