Package: netbase
Version: 3.14-2
On the ping man page it says:
-c count
Stop after sending (and receiving) count ECHO_RESPONSE packets.
Although a reasonably intelligent individual will eventually figure out
that the number of packets sent is irrelevant, and that -c now only counts
*received* packets, this note on a quick read seems to suggest that
somehow the # of sent packets *does* matter. Given that the old behaviour
of ping was to count only # of sent packets, this leads to confusion. I
propose that this should simply read:
-c count
Stop after receiving count ECHO_RESPONSE packets.

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,
--
