Betreff: Re: [devuan-dev] cups <> IPV4
My /etc/hosts _has_ the localhost entry. I read somewhere on the
Internet about a simular problem. It had to do with the way how IPV6
translates localhost. (wrongly).

So I believe it is a bug still. But _only_ if the the machine is IPV4 only.

best regards

Kees
