Public bug reported: The iputils package included in Ubuntu is from 2012. There have been several releases since then and should be updated. Specifically, the iputils-ping package needs to be updated to support the unified ping binary.
Specific commit: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/commit/ebad35fee3de851b809c7b72ccc654a72b6af61d Last release: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/releases/tag/s20150815 Given 16.04 is a LTS, it would be extremely bad for Ubuntu to miss this updated. Competitively, Fedora 24 will be including it as well. https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/PingIpv6 ** Affects: iputils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ipv6 ping -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547702 Title: iputils-ping does not support IPv6 in ping command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iputils/+bug/1547702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
