Package: iproute Version: 20080725-2 Severity: normal File: /sbin/ip Since I upgraded iproute today from 20080417-1 it seems to be no longer possible to do a abbreviation of the network-prefix when handling it with "ip route".
Former it was possible, for example, to add a route by using the following syntax: ip route add 10/8 via <some-gateway> where 10/8 stands for 10.0.0.0/8. Now ip route rejects this with: Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "10/8". Only ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via <some-gateway> works for now. But I'm using this shortened syntax quiet often in my configs as it helps me avoiding typos.
