Bug Description
Binary package hint: mtr
When pinging a remote host running Karmic alpha using 'mtr', I get no response if tracing by hostname:
$ mtr geode.lan
Keys: Help Display mode Restart statistics Order of fields quit
Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev
In other words, resolving that particular host fails using 'mtr'.
However, if I try to ping using the IPv4 address, it works:
$ mtr 172.16.1.1
Keys: Help Display mode Restart statistics Order of fields quit
Host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev
1. geode.lan 0.0% 5 3.6 1.5 0.8 3.6 1.2
Disabling IPv6 support on my router suddenly makes host "geode" respond to 'mtr' pings again.
As if to make things more complicated, using 'ping' to probe the same host works:
$ ping -c 3 geode.lan
PING geode.lan (172.16.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from geode.lan (172.16.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.725 ms
64 bytes from geode.lan (172.16.1.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.784 ms
64 bytes from geode.lan (172.16.1.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.764 ms
--- geode.lan ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.725/0.
Using 'mtr' on any other host on this subnet (OpenWRT, Debian/Squeeze, Ubuntu/Jaunty) returns a normal result.
