Control: tags -1 + moreinfo Hi,
sorry for reviving such an old bug report. I recently took over maintenance of arpwatch as part of the pkg-security-team. In your bug report you described two different problems. 1. Arpwatch does not start properly after startup, requires manual restart Is this issue still present? If it is, could you check if version 2.1a15-3, which was just uploaded to experimental, fixes the problem? This new version has native systemd unit files and the startup is quite different. 2. The arp.dat database was cleared (at least once) Has this happened more often and/or can you reproduce this problem? I can think of two reasons why this might have happened: * two arpwatch instances are accidentally started using the same database file and there is a race condition with reading/writing the file * the postinstall script, which used to copy the database around until version 2.1a15-1.3, might have cleared it (e.g. due to a dpkg-reconfigure) Neither these two problems can happen any more with version 2.1a15-3, but maybe your problem is something else. If you have any further information please let me know. Thank you Lukas
