Comment 66 for bug 24828

As I understand it, a patch has now been applied to glibc

"A fixed glibc with the following patch has been uploaded today:

14:30 < Mithrandir> Uploading to ubuntu (via ftp to upload.ubuntu.com):
glibc_2.5-0ubuntu13.dsc: done. glibc_2.5-0ubuntu13.diff.gz: done.
glibc_2.5-0ubuntu13_source.changes: done.

This glibc has the following patch in it:
http://err.no/patches/glibc-only-lookup-ipv6-if-it-makes-sense.diff

Mithrandir is Tollef Fog Heen, Ubuntu Release Manager.

"

Which should fix this issue in a much better way - will this hack now be reverted?
