Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20121221-1 Followup-For: Bug #709052 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
This bug seems to be a repetition of the ancient http://bugs.debian.org/120166 I see this pointless and bogus message whenever I ping an unreachable address behind a properly configured router sending ICMP errors back: bjorn@nemi:~$ ping 148.122.252.6 -c 3 PING 148.122.252.6 (148.122.252.6) 56(84) bytes of data. WARNING: kernel is not very fresh, upgrade is recommended. From 85.166.105.176: icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable From 85.166.105.176: icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable --- 148.122.252.6 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +2 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2007ms pipe 3 bjorn@nemi:~$ ping -V ping utility, iputils-s20121221 I am sort of not buying the "kernel is not very fresh" on this particular system: bjorn@nemi:~$ uname -a Linux nemi 3.13.0-rc1+ #138 SMP Sun Nov 24 21:55:48 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux If iputils has some problems with how the kernel handles ICMP error messages, then I suggest fixing that in the kernel instead of creating noise for end users. Feel free to use the 148.122.252.6 address for testing. It is currently not in use.
