I think this is a kernel bug rather then a bug in iproute2. The only difference for add and replace in iproute2 is the flags that gets passed to the kernel (add = NLM_F_EXCL, replace = NLM_F_REPLACE - see ip/iproute.c). -- Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
