Package: busybox-static Version: 1:1.22.0-8 Severity: important When trying to ping an address, like debian.org, with busybox-static you get a "ping: bad address 'debian.org'" error. I knew that version 1.22.0-6 of busybox-static was working, so I also downloaded version 1.22.0-7 and 1.22.0-8 and tested those:
# ./busybox-1.22.0-6 ping -c 1 debian.org PING debian.org (200.17.202.197): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 200.17.202.197: seq=0 ttl=49 time=307.969 ms --- debian.org ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 307.969/307.969/307.969 ms # ./busybox-1.22.0-7 ping -c 1 debian.org ping: bad address 'debian.org' # ./busybox-1.22.0-8 ping -c 1 debian.org ping: bad address 'debian.org' So that means this bug was introduced with version 1.22.0-7. Note that the non-static version does work properly (tested version 1.22.0-8). It makes the package rather unusable, but I'll leave it up to the maintainer to raise the severity.
