Title:
iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name
Status in arping package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I need to scan for an ip address based on MAC address and wanted to
use the utility arping.
Unfortunatly there are TWO different versions of the program with the
exact same name. arping has dependancies with network-manager network-
manager-gnome and ubuntu-desktop making the package arping impossible
to install as iputils-arping is default. And iputils-arping doesn't
have the option to use a MAC address to arp to receive the IP address.
This discussion (from 2005) sums it up in the end as well. (why does this
issue still exist?)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-to-find-ip-address-of-a-machine-if-i-know-their-mac-address-353239/
What procedure needs to be followed in order to get one of the
programmers to rename their program, or to repackage the ubuntu
package arping so that it creates /usr/bin/arpingmac or something
similar instead of the naming conflict?
