Why?  In most (userland) cases, it takes more work to write code that
supports IPv4 but not IPv6 than to write code that supports both.

...if by "just a few days" you mean "two weeks".  If this really is "a
new addition", it dates back to one of hrs_at_'s commits on 2009-09-13.
However, the most likely cause of the OP's problem is incorrect use of
mergemaster.  If he did indeed run "mergemaster -p" and "mergemaster
-i", but nothing more, his /etc is completely out of sync.
