Hiya,

I already have IPv6 in my kernel, indeed it's actually all working fine ;  
I can create and accept IPv6 connections with no problems.

traceroute6 for example actually works fine:

traceroute to k.kaizo.org (2001:470:103:68::2), 30 hops max, 40 byte  
packets
  1  section9.kaizo.org (2001:470:944b:abcd::225) 0.298 ms  0.117 ms  0.119

  7  k.kaizo.org (2001:470:103:68::2) 113.879 ms  112.886 ms  111.908 ms

It's simply ping6 and tracepath6 that are broken.

The attached iputils.spec and diff fix this issue.

Regards,

Simon.
