Description Wolfgang Illmeyer 2008-08-16 01:43:40 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Although I don't have any IPv6 connectivity, akregator insists on using IPv6 for fetching news feeds. Unlike other KDE applications, it doesn't stop after a failed AAAA-Query, but keeps sending them over and over. After some time it then states that fetching the feed failed.

Only once in a while it does issue an A Query and fetches the feed correctly.

I already tried
KDE_NO_IPV6=true
and
KDE_NO_IPV6=1
but it didn't help. (could anybody tell me if that's still supposed to work in KDE-4.1?)

Weird. We use KIO for networking, no akregator-specific stuff there. Do other applications (konqueror, especially) work as expected? Please let us know if subsequent upgrades to 4.1.x or 4.2 change anything.
Comment 2 Christophe Marin 2009-10-01 19:00:58 UTC 
So, is this still an issue ?

with IPV6 enabled, I don't have such problems.
Comment 3 Wolfgang Illmeyer 2009-10-01 22:24:57 UTC 
nope, meanwhile i updated to kde-4.3 and the problem is gone
