Package: fping Version: 3.10-2 Severity: normal I was trying to get fping to work in a docker container and have created a minimal base image with debootstrap.
After I installed fping I could not start it: # fping # echo $? 4 Running strace on fping I noticed this line just before exiting: open("/etc/protocols", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) /etc/protocols seems to be provided by netbase, which is not installed in my minimal docker image. After I install netbase I can use fping again. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages fping depends on: ii libc6 2.19-17 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-8 fping recommends no packages. fping suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
