Cannot make outgoing calls, "address family not supported by protocol"

[Dave Walker]

Binary package hint: asterisk

After a short amount of time, outgoing calls fail if the SIP provider has multiple A|SRV records. >>>> https://bit.ly/2BtN52W

[Jul 14 11:43:13] WARNING[25721]: chan_sip.c:3581 __sip_xmit: sip_xmit of 0xb9bdbd98 (len 536) to X.X.X.X:5060 returned -1: Address family not supported by protocol

This issue has been resolved upstream.

SRU:-
 IMPACT: New users or users upgrading to Lucid, who use a provider that has multiple A/SRV records, after a short amount of time will not be able to make outgoing calls.
 FIX: Patch derived from upstream asterisk addresses this issue with better dnsmgr handling
 TEST CASE: Install asterisk, set up a peer using multiple A or SRV records, observe:
   "[Jul 14 12:07:57] WARNING[25721]: chan_sip.c:3581 __sip_xmit: sip_xmit of 0xb9bdb680 (len 536) to X.X.X.X:5060 returned -1: Address family not supported by protocol", and therefore outgoing calls fail.

Accepted asterisk into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Is this fixed in maverick's 1:1.6.2.7-1ubuntu1? If so, please close the task. If not, please upload the fix there, too.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Could someone affected by this issue in lucid test the package in lucid-proposed and report if it fixes it ?
Dave, could you please reply to Martin's question in comment #4 ?

Thanks in advance.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Any testers?

[Dave Walker (davewalker)]

Apologies for the awful delay with updating on this... I didn't realise this was still blocked on me.

The Lucid Proposed package does fix this issue, and has been in production here for quite a while.

Regarding confirmation with Maverick, this is probably best determined with grepping the source code... which is now on my soon to-do list.
