Ok instead of going the Ubuntu backports route, I just created a patch that enabled these feature in Oneiric. I've linked a branch with these changes. I've also built/tested on my end and it does in fact pass the test case.
** Description changed: - Summary (one line): - Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal - - Description: - Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal to precise. - - Reason for the backport: - ======================== - This backport is needed in order to provide a backport to Oneiric. - - Testing: - ======== - Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing. - - You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage: - $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise whois - - * precise: - [X] Package builds without modification - [X] whois installs cleanly and runs - - Reverse dependencies: - ===================== - The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of whois. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new whois. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new whois installed.

In addition updates query format for IPs when accessing ARIN. [Development Fix] These issues were fixed in 5.0.14 of whois. [Stable Fix] Since most of the fixes are covered in updating from 5.0.11 to 5.0.14, a backport of these version provides all fixes. [Test Case] 1) whois google.hr (works on precise, not on oneiric) 2) whois registry.sx google.com.pe 3) whois 74.125.113.102 if we use this command in precise we see that whois adds "n +" to the query, while in oneiric it doesn't add that. [Regression Potential] Most of the changes are fairly minimal, although any changes to mkpasswd should be investigated. Problem Description: whois in oneiric can't query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition the query format for ARIN is different than in precise.
