The only real bug is the log message :-).  Systems w/o IPv6 worked fine
- the problem was systems that did support IPv6 but for which people
wanted to run amanda on v4 - which is most of them, including Paul's and
several of mine.

Either Amanda or NetBSD is broken, depending on whether you believe the
spec for v6only default value - if amanda is built with v6 it opens only
a v6 socke and expects v4 connections to show up there.  They do not,
resulting in no backups.

The correct fixes are all much harder than this change, and this makes
amanda work in the common case.  Upstream has acknowledged that amanda
needs to be fixed, given that it is unrealistic to expect systems to
follow the v6 specs that require v4 connections to match v6 sockets.

So basically amanda's v6 support is half-baked, and we're turning it off
as buggy.

Note that the only thing one can even begin to complain about is that
inet6 isn't in PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS, or however it's supposed to get
turned on by default.

Was amanda working for you before?  On what sort of system?
