Updating the linkchecker package to the latest released version will also not be done for stable releases.
If you want this bug fixed on your system(s) you have multiple options: 1) wait for the next stable release (this can take a while) 2) compile the latest linkchecker release yourself from here: http://packages.debian.org/source/testing/linkchecker 3) backport the fix yourself to your locally installed version: --- linkcheck/dns/ifconfig.py.orig 2009-07-21 23:26:05.000000000 +0200 +++ linkcheck/dns/ifconfig.py 2009-07-21 23:26:15.000000000 +0200 @@ -85,7 +85,8 @@ ifconf = data[i:i+ifreq_size] name, dummy = struct.unpack("16s16s", ifconf) name, dummy = name.split('\0', 1) - iflist.append(name) + if name: + iflist.append(name) i += ifreq_size return iflist Hope this helps, Bastian
