Not only the manpage, but the binary itself (/usr/bin/addrinfo) too, 
though it's not mentioned in the bug report.

I might be wrong, but it was my understanding that manpages-dev included 
documentation for "base" stuff, mostly libc. Anyway, the manpage should 
be installed from the same package as the binary.

Hmm, if Pekka and Kai decided to do that, I'm fine with it, but their 
addrinfo is not really SIP-specific.

I have sofia-sip 1.12.4-1 and ndisc6 0.7.3-2 on the same system. Works 
fine, so I guess you can afford to wait for the next upstream Sofia-SIP 
release. I let you decide with release management there.

Sorry for failing to Cc #404008 in the first place.
