Package: nmap Version: 7.12-1 Severity: normal [X-Debbugs-Cc'd to #821913]
Dear Maintainer, The debian patch debian/patches/0004-Ignore-errors-when-enumerating-interfaces.patch, added to fix #821913, could mask legitimate failures: whenever _intf_get_noalias() returns -1, whether that is due to the reason underlying #821913 or due to a "legitimate" error condition, that would result in neither an error message nor a warning message. Given that upstream has fixed #821913 in r35782, I assume that's all that's needed is to drop the debian patch in favour of the upstream patch. Cheers, Daniel
