           Summary: resolv code not able to update resolv.conf for ipv6
           Product: glibc

If we call dhclient as follows in its not able to update resolv.conf even
though the tcpdump shows that the system receives ipv6 DNS namserver
information to be updated

dhclient -6 -nw -S eth0

-bash-4.2# tcpdump -i eth0
tcpdump: WARNING: eth0: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

I compiled the same dhclient with glibc version glibc-2.17 and it works just
fine. Therefore I am assuming here its problem in glibc code itself 

I tested this on Fedora 19 glibc-2.17 and dhclient-4.2.5(from ISC website)
