libc6: ip6-fix.patch should be removed #165287 (fwd)

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto <fabbione@fabbione.net>]

Hi all,
	this is just to keep all of you informed. I have asked to revert
back the patch. the new upstream resolver now works simply great.
It tries first ip6.arpa and if it fails it tries ip6.int
I have tested the behaviour on my local machines.
You might notices a bit more dns traffic since a possible double query
but keeping debian limited to ip6.int is not wise anymore.

Regards
Fabio

Hi all,
	like in the topic. the patch is not needed anymore.
The new resolver in glibc-2.3.1 is now perfectly able to handle both ip6.arpa
and ip6.int queries.

there are some pro and cons disabling the patch, such as more dns traffic
generated from the removal, but it is time to go upstream like Ben Collins
pointed out since long time.

Thanks
Fabio
