I tried posting this last week, but it seems to have been lost.
Did somebody forget to migrate part of a script to correctly link
-current against the latest tarball at http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/
?
Its referenced as the source location for ping in just about any
distro i can get my hands on.
http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/ has a list of source tarball releases.
All of these releases reference
http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-current.tar.bz2 as the location
to obtain the source.
This URL 404's, meaning that most linux systems in existence refer to
a unavailable URL for the source
