Dear maintainers,

currently, microhttpd (used for automatically testing wget2 during build)
is setup with IPv4 sockets.  This test suite setup fails on IPv6-only
hosts [1].  In a private discussion with Andreas and Paul (both are on CC),
we agreed that disabling the test suite on IPv6-only hosts is not an ideal
solution but the only way to currently let wget2 migrate to Debian testing
(trixie) again because we regard it not as a regression since the test
suite has not been run before during builds on Debian buildd servers [2].

Therefore, I have chosen not to tag this ticket with "patch" although an
"intermediate" patch is attached.  Once the test suite runs on IPv6-only
hosts too, this work-around could be removed again.  Moreover, the test
suite is perfectly running locally (tested on amd64 and arm64) as well as
on Salsa CI thanks to Andreas.

Anyway, I have opened a ticket upstream to discuss this issue there [3].

Please be aware that my proposed patch only applies smoothly if the patch
for bug ticket #1089154 [4] (enabling bzip2 support again) has been
applied before.  It is because of adding the option --with-bzip2 to
configure.

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle

Great.  Would you mind pushing this patch to Git?

Hello Andreas!

A temporary patch with the file skip-tests-on-ipv6-only-hosts.diff.gz [1]
was attached to the bug report earlier this day.

Best regards,

Thomas

Done.  The builds and checks on Salsa CI have also passed.

Best regards,

Thomas
