Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-24.2
Hi,
netstat -s returns 1 on all my squeeze and wheezy systems where I've tested
that (causing the Munin netstat plugin to fail, but that's another matter).
I had a look at the source and this seems to be a deviation from netstat
upstream - netstat.c-assorted_changes.patch introduces non-zero exit
statuses, but messes up in two different ways.
In squeeze, the patch says:
+ printf("Address type not supported for stats\n");
+ exit(1);
First of all, it's supposed to print an error on stderr, not stdout.
Disregarding that detail for a moment, it's still somehow broken:
% netstat -s | grep Address
% echo $?
1
In wheezy, the patch says:
+ if (!afname[0]) {
+ [... no exit ...]
+ } else {
+ [... no exit ...]
+ }
+ exit(1);
That's wrong because both cases became unconditionally treated as failures,
which they aren't.
Please fix this. TIA.
