Just a few days ago, this issue was discussed in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/07/msg00070.html
and libvirt was mentioned explicitly as a package that could be
affected by it.
Reproducing the issue is quite simple: just remove all IPv4
addresses *except* the one assigned to 'lo', and you'll see it
immediately. The problem seems to be that, in this configuration,
virNetSocketCheckProtocols() reports that both IPv4 and IPv6 are
available, but XML-RPC is apparently not happy with that.
I'm pretty bad at networking, so I'm reporting this in the hope that
someone else will figure it out O:-)
Anyway, there's another scenario that I found while digging: if you
remove *all* IPv4 addresses, *including* the one assigned to 'lo',
you get a different failure. My patch addresses this last one.

New subject: [libvirt PATCH 1/2] tests: Don't assume IPv4 connectivity is available
If the host doesn't have a single IPv4 address assigned to any of
its interfaces, not even the loopback one, then virnetsockettest
will fail with
Cannot identify IPv4/6 availability
because, while the IPv6 bind attempt is conditional, the IPv4 one
is not, and in this case it will always fail.
This commit is better viewed with 'git show -w'.

Indeed. I'm able to reproduce and working on a fix as we speak.
The problem is that our test assumes that if there is an interface with
IPv4 address (as returned by getifaddrs()) then getaddrinfo() of an IPv4
address succeeds. We've seen with IPv6 that it is not true - that's why
virNetSocketCheckProtocols() does explicit getaddrinfo() for an IPv6
address. We need to do the same for IPv4.
Anyway, for these two:
