Package: netbase
Version: 3.18-4
Severity: normal


ping does not support -I, which is listed in --help but not the man page:
usage: ping [-LRdfnqrv] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload]
        [-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface address] host

Other distributions' ping commands do support -I, so I expected it to work.

        Hello,

All of these bugs should be fixed automagically by switching to 
iputils-ping which replaces netkit-ping in Debian Etch.

#262304 was tagged Woody, but this is not a supported release anymore.

#36663: it is in fact the number of packet *sent* that matters, not the 
the number of received ones. iputils-ping manpage is consistent.

#66551: the -I option is fixed with iputils-ping.

Regards,
