[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#644912: ipv6 link-local doesn't work as lookup doesn't set scope id

[Stefan Bühler]

Package: libnss-mdns
Tags: ipv6
Version: 0.10-3.2

Hi,

libnss-mdns doesn't set the scope-id for link-local addresses, so 
something like

     $ ping6 example.local
gives
     connect: Invalid argument

while
     $ getent host example.local
returns a valid link-local IPv6 address (fe80::...) and
     $ ping6 fe80::...%eth0
works fine.


I sent this nearly 2 years ago upstream per mail, but never got a 
response, and i couldn't find an upstream bug tracker.
