Hello Richard and thanks for this bug report. According to the manpage
the -f option is equivalent to the --rfcomm long option, which isn't
really well documented. Just to check: are you actually trying to use
netstat in rfcomm mode? My impression is that --rfcomm is a legacy
option superseded by --protocol, which allows to explicitly specify the
desired protocol.
In general I can't match `netstat -f inet` with the command synopsis in
the manpage. Were you perhaps meaning `netstat -p inet`?
Please note that while the net-tools are fully supported in Ubuntu
(they're in "main"), they're considered deprecated and tools from the
iproute2 package should be used instead. The replacement for netstat is
normally the 'ss' tool. Unless you have specific requirements my
suggestion is to start using the "new" (> 10 years old) tools from the
beginning.

Title:
Up-to-date net-tools package tells me to recompile it
Status in net-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Attempting to run
netstat -f inet
results in
netstat: feature `AF BLUETOOTH' not supported.
Please recompile `net-tools' with newer kernel source or full configuration.
Both my net-tools and kernel packages are fully up-to-date. (Version
details are in the report collected by ubuntu-bug.)
This looks to me like a package inconsistency.
