Hello. Here in the KDE lists, please mention the version you have. Since 
KDE 4 doesn't exist, I must assume that "kdelibs4" is the name Debian 
gave for kdelibs 3.x.

The feature was removed in KDE 3.3, but has been reintroduced for 3.4. The 
option you mention (--with-ipv6) has been removed. The test is now 
automatic in every case. 

In other words, there was no use in allowing a choice in the matter: if 
you don't have IPv6, the resolution is not needed. If you do, then you 
probably want the resolution.

The only case left is those users who don't want IPv6 but have it enabled 
nonetheless.
