@jangutter: I'm not sure why you built from source? I assume you actually tested the version in 17.04 and it worked.
The proper solution is to backport the Debian change to xenial and trusty, most likely. A git repository that can be used with `git-ubuntu` (sudo snap install --classic git-ubuntu`) is available here: https://code.launchpad.net/~usd-import- team/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+git/iproute2 Feel free to propose MPs against ubuntu/xenial-devel and ubuntu/trusty- devel, or I can do it if you'd prefer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720126 Title: [ip link] Message truncated error for large number of passthrough VFs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+bug/1720126/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
