I've added the Build-Depends to make the use more explicit and asked the upstream author to add the linking exception for ssl.

What I also noticed is that you have added a B-D on libssl-dev, but I cannot find any reference that the source is actually using it. Using Openssl on GPL'ed code without explicit license grant would be bad... Can you expand? (Note that I did a NMU on the current version in sid to fix only the compat level 4 bug) -- tobi

Why isn't there a Breaks from the right arping to network-manager? FTR, other distributions (RHEL/Fedora at least) are using the iproute implementation. Probably that is the best way to go then. Mhh, on Fedora the two implementations are available actually (but not on RHEL) and the iproute one is being installed by default.

(Maybe add instructions to a README.Debian file.) Sounds like a case for alternatives, are the two implementations command-line compatible? TBH I don't want to use alternatives if the two tools are not using the same flags, for example, arping has two implementation in debian using alternatives (or being installed in two different paths, not sure anymore) but they are not providing the same flags/options, network-manager is using this tool but only works with one of the implementation. FTR, other distributions (RHEL/Fedora at least) are using the iproute implementation.

The command is just complete, no new features have been added. So I guess we should keep ifstat, if only for kfreebsd and hurd. MfG Goswin

It seems to be dead upstream (last release is from 2004). The iproute2 package (which is still maintained upstream) also has a ifstat binary, I've added that binary by mistake in the last upload I've made. So I see two solutions here, either I'm removing that binary from the iproute2 package (and we are back to the situation before my boggus upload) or we are removing the ifstat package from debian. Note iproute2 is linux only though. Any thoughts about this? Regards, Laurent Bigonville
