Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20100418-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I just wanted to report identical wish. IMHO ping should beheva just like most others applications, and connect using address returned by system resolver, regredless it is ipv6 or ipv4. It should step by step try to send package, and skip one if sending returns the error indicating that system do not support one of the protocols or routings. Adding -4 and -6 flags would also be usefull, to enforce testing of one protocol, or for other reasons. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.utf8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pl_PL.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages iputils-ping depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4 SSL shared libraries iputils-ping recommends no packages. iputils-ping suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
