Hi, i also get this error message but only at one of my database servers. I'm not sure, but I have experienced some other IPv6 issues on the same server. I think somebody turned on the IPv6 protocole on the server and didn't declare in postgres the IPv6 address. Check if this is also true in your case.

Actually, what this suggests is that your kernel doesn't support IPv6 but userland libraries (getaddrinfo() in particular) think it does. It's pretty harmless and you could just ignore it, unless of course you actually need to use IPv6 ... regards, tom lane
