[Bug 1892832] Re: dnspython 2.0.0-1 fails IPv6 autopkgtests

[Łukasz Zemczak]

In case it is the autopkgtest proxy environment causing the failures, I
have prepared a debdiff to disable the IPv6 parts of the tests that are
failing. But before we proceed, I need to know if it's simply not broken
completely on Ubuntu in overall.

Title:
  dnspython 2.0.0-1 fails IPv6 autopkgtests

Status in dnspython package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently dnspython 2.0.0-1 is stuck in groovy-proposed due to its own
  autopkgtests failing. After investigating a bit further, it can be
  seen that the failing (and hanging) tests are ones related to UDP DNS
  queries using IPv6, which were not tested in the previous dnspython
  versions. This particularly means the testQueryUDP* tests from
  tests_query and tests_async (but there's more). The testing suite
  tries to be as smart as possible and checks for IPv6 connectivity
  before trying to validate IPv6, but on our infrastructure those checks
  pass but the UDP tests do not.

  This rises the question if the autopkgtest infrastructure (with the
  network proxy) simply intervenes in the testing, causing those tests
  to fail, or is this feature broken in Ubuntu. It's worth noting that
  these autopkgtests are passing fine on Debian.

  I have tried preparing an IPv6 setup to check which one is it, but sadly I was unable to get one configured properly - no IPv6 support from my ISP, nor was I able to get IPv6 working via a VPN.
  We need someone to check that the failing bits work on a regular setup or not - if yes, we can then simply disable the IPv6 checks in the package and let it migrate.
