Bug#809847: ipcalc doesn't support IPv6
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! a. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ipcalc depends on: ii perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 ipcalc recommends no packages. ipcalc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
Bug#809847: ipcalc doesn't support IPv6
Package: ipcalc Version: 0.41-4 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.
