Source: inetutils-ping
Version: 2
Severity: normal

Hello,

For instance:

€ ping6 2001:910:1059:2::1 
PING 2001:910:1059:2::1 (2001:910:1059:2::1): 48 data bytes
ping: getnameinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution
56 bytes from unknown: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.082 ms

This is not really pretty (and the numeric address could at least be
shown instead of "unknown", by passing NI_NUMERICHOST to getnameinfo).

Iputils-ping does not show this:

€ ping6 2001:910:1059:2::1
PING 2001:910:1059:2::1(2001:910:1059:2::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:910:1059:2::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.047 ms

because in the case of a numeric address given on the command line,
iputils-ping automatically enables the NUMERIC option.  Maybe
inetutils-ping should do the same.
