Bug Description
traceroute (ipv4) displays the FQDN and the IP of the host it is about to trace:
$ traceroute free.fr
traceroute to free.fr (212.27.48.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
$ traceroute comcast6.net
traceroute to comcast6.net (69.252.80.75), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
traceroute 6 does the same thing, but can't display the FQDN properly:
$ traceroute6 free.fr
traceroute to @D}HsU (2a01:e0c:1::1) from <snip>, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets
$ traceroute6 comcast6.net
traceroute to P����U (2001:558:
Instead of the garbled text before the IPv6, it should display the FQDN, just like it does for IPv4.
These are the versions I have on mad64 (didn't try other architectures):
$ traceroute --version
