Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20100418-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
After upgrade from lenny to squeeze, ping starts reporting "icmp_req=..." instead of the "icmp_seq=...". Sample output (broken on squeeze): squeeze$ ping localhost ... 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms Sample output (ok on lenny): ... 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms The typo lies in ping.c/pr_echo_reply(). For history/upstream report, have a look at upstream's commit d5e3dcb81ff3828fa40eb4e8c562ca7015d7ac6a on 2010-04-08. As ping output may be parsed, I do not file this with Severity:minor. I just found related bug 606062 while digging for references. Report includes a workaround for cacti, but as ping's output change doesn't seem justified, it seems better to revert to printing "icmp_seq" in iputils. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages iputils-ping depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4 SSL shared libraries iputils-ping recommends no packages. iputils-ping suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
