Hey

Here's another Debian bug report on curl that clearly actually is about
c-ares...

Subject: Bug#478864: curl: (6) Resolving host timed out:
Package: curl
Version: 7.18.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
After recent upgrade curl stopped working:
% curl http://www.debian.org/
curl: (6) Resolving host timed out: www.debian.org
After adding ipv4 nameserver entry to /etc/resolv.conf but with
ipv6-only http_proxy curl exits with
% curl http://www.debian.org/
curl: (5) Could not resolve host: www.debian.org (DNS server returned answer with no data)
This is probably caused by libc-ares support (see also #476735) and
downgrading libcurl3 to 7.18.0-1+b1 returns curl to working
state.
