I don't agree with the severity of the bug: It's a warning, nothing else. As
long as there is also a ipv4 nameserver in resolv.conf thing still work as
expected. So this is a cosmetic problem except on ipv6 only systems.
I don't think that anything should be done in Wireshark, but if you feel like
it then provide a patch to adns - either implementing ipv6 support or at least
parsting the ipv6 statement and supressing that specific warning.
In case the maintainer doesn't incorporate the patch then distributions should
include it in their packages.

IMO, this bug should be closed as WONTFIX, as it needs to be fixed upstream -
and "fixing" adns to not print the warning should be a simple enough task.
