Bug#809847: ipcalc doesn't support IPv6

2016-09-13 Thread Antoine Beaupré
Package: ipcalc
Version: 0.41-4
Followup-For: Bug #809847

Considering how unmaintained the perl-based ipcalc is, wouldn't it
make sense to update to the C version which has more features?

thanks for considering this!

Bug#809847: ipcalc doesn't support IPv6

Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,
 The ipcalc tool included in Debian works fine for IPv4 addresses but has no
support whatsoever for IPv6 addresses. The output of:
$ ipcalc ::1
INVALID ADDRESS: ::1

Address:   192.168.1.1  1100.10101000.0001. 0001
Netmask:   255.255.255.0 = 24   ... 
Wildcard:  0.0.0.255... 
=>
Network:   192.168.1.0/24   1100.10101000.0001. 
HostMin:   192.168.1.1  1100.10101000.0001. 0001
HostMax:   192.168.1.2541100.10101000.0001. 1110
Broadcast: 192.168.1.2551100.10101000.0001. 
Hosts/Net: 254

Which doesn't correspond to reality.

This was also the case with Fedora's ipcalc tool [0] and we updated it to [1]
which does support IPv6 and has output which resembles Debian's ipcalc.
