Package: nagios-plugins

check_ping uses special features only found in iputils-ping and not
found in other packages providing ping
particularly -w:
-w deadline
Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits
regardless of how many pack-ets have been sent or received. In
this case ping does not stop after count packet are sent, it waits
either for deadline expire or until count probes are answered or
for some error notification from network.
So, in my case, nagios just reported everything down (ping used invalid
args and returned an error indicating the host was down)
Solution: nagios-plugins should depend on _just_ iputils-ping
