[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#677481: network-manager: NetworkManager spews IPv6 nameserver related assertion failures to log

[David Gibson]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-5
Severity: minor
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

Running NetworkManager on my laptop, when on my home network (with
native IPv6), I get this message in the system log, multiple times a
minute:

Jun 14 18:35:52 truffula NetworkManager[15910]: nm_ip6_config_add_nameserver: assertion `IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL (nameserver, &nameservers[i]) == FALSE' failed

It's not clear what's causing this.  I do usually run a local pdnsd
and resolvconf to integrate normal DNS with DNS from a corporate VPN,
which might be relevant.
