Sorry, I don't understand your latest change of traceroute 2.0.7-3 regarding #436698:
Current version (2.0.7-3) of traceroute provides: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1349 2007-08-08 22:10 /usr/bin/tcptraceroute* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38624 2007-08-08 22:10 /usr/bin/traceroute* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-08-09 16:20 /usr/bin/traceroute6 -> traceroute* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-08-09 16:20 /usr/bin/tracert -> traceroute* So you are pointing /usr/bin/traceroute6 to /usr/bin/traceroute. But the ndisc6 package provides the following: ,---- [ ndisc6-0.9.3/debian/ndisc6.postinst ] | update-alternatives \ | --install /usr/bin/traceroute6 traceroute6 /usr/bin/rltraceroute6 110 \ | --slave /usr/share/man/man8/traceroute6.8.gz traceroute6.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/rltraceroute6.8.gz `---- So as soon as I install ndisc6 I'll get the following setup (having current traceroute installed as well): -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1349 2007-08-08 22:10 /usr/bin/tcptraceroute* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38624 2007-08-08 22:10 /usr/bin/traceroute* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2007-08-09 16:21 /usr/bin/traceroute6 -> /etc/alternatives/traceroute6* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-08-09 16:20 /usr/bin/tracert -> traceroute* Now when I remove ndisc6, /usr/bin/traceroute6 does *not* exist anymore. Bug in ndisc6? But: current version (3:20070202-2) of iputils-tracepath (which traceroute 2.0.7-3 conflicts with) provides: -rwxr-xr-x root/root 7632 2007-07-16 18:00 /usr/bin/tracepath -rwsr-xr-x root/root 11960 2007-07-16 18:00 /usr/bin/traceroute6.iputils -rwxr-xr-x root/root 8716 2007-07-16 18:00 /usr/bin/tracepath6 Why shouldn't traceroute and iputils-tracepath play together using the alternatives mechanism for /usr/bin/traceroute6, as well as playing together with ndisc6? It would be great if all the existing trace* packages in Debian (like iputils-tracepath, tcptraceroute, traceproto, traceroute and traceroute-nanog) would play together smarter, using alternatives where appropriate and necessary. Maybe you could coordinate that? thx && regards, -mika-
