Arping & iputils-arping conflict each other; that's it. Note that latest arping's update was in 2014/10 and should have been removed from the archive, as per the Debian solution found to resolve such issue:
an old question/answer some years ago (by the arping dev): In the past there were some attempts to include arping into the Fedora Package Collection. At the moment there is an issue with the name. iputils contains a tool that is called arping and this ends with a name conflict. The suggestion was to rename your arping to arping-ng for the package name. Have you ever thought about renaming your tool or are there any objections about renaming it from your side? From my point of view it would be the best way to make the name change upstream to avoid confusion the users. • Reply•Share › Avatar Thomas Habets Mod Fabian Affolter • 6 years ago Debian solved this by creating a new package called iputils-arping that contains that arping and have this arping be in the package "arping". I will not rename Arping since this is just a minor issue on Linux. I have no problem with it being named something else in Fedora, except several other OSs have *this* program with the name "arping", so it could cause more confusion than already exists. http://www.habets.pp.se/synscan/programs.php?prog=arping -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833546 Title: iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arping/+bug/833546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
