4.222. perl-Net-DNS
An updated perl-Net-DNS package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The perl-Net-DNS package contains a collection of Perl modules that act as a Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform DNS queries that are beyond the capabilities of the gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr routines.
Bug Fix
- BZ#688211
- Prior to this update, perl-Net-DNS lacked a complete IPv6 functionality. This update adds the dependencies related to IPv6 and, in addition, prevents the possibility of interactive (re)build.
All users of perl-Net-DNS should upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
