Package: mtr
Version: 0.63-1
Severity: important

In earlier versions, mtr would skip over unresponsive routers marking them ???
and still ultimately tracing to the specified destination (where possible)

In 0.63-1, however, the trace stops at the very first host that fails to
respond, which kind of renders it a bit useless for long-haul tracing over
mixed networks, or tracing through tunnels:

[0.63-1 from centaurus]
 Host                                Loss%   Snt   Last   Avg  Best  Wrst StDev
  1. copernicus.abx-melb               0.0%    10    0.6   0.9   0.6   3.4   0.9
  2. ???

[0.54 from charon, one hop further away, where the older version is still
        installed]
Hostname                                %Loss  Rcv  Snt  Last Best  Avg  Worst
 1. centaurus.abx-melb                     0%    7    7     0    0    0      0
 2. copernicus.abx-melb                    0%    7    7     0    0    0      0
 3. ???
 4. ???
 5. ???
 6. ???
 7. ???
 8. gwp.abx-per                            0%    6    6    72   71   95    199
                                                                                

(Obviously this is the more useful form, whereas 0.63-1 doesn't give me any)

Tested this using iptables to force return packets from certain hops to be
dropped - mtr does skip over them properly.
