Package: nmap
Version: 6.47-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for maintaining Debian's nmap package.

I like using it to report the IP addresses
assigned on my private network.

My understanding is this can be done with

    $ nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24

and

    $ nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24

I expected nmap to return something like

    Host 192.168.0.1 is up (0.00035s latency).
    MAC Address: BC:AE:C5:C3:16:93 (Unknown)
    Host 192.168.0.2 is up (0.0038s latency).
    MAC Address: 74:44:01:40:57:FB (Unknown)
    Host 192.168.0.5 is up.
    Host nas03 (192.168.0.12) is up (0.0091s latency).
    MAC Address: 00:11:32:11:15:FC (Spleenology Uncorporated)
    Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (4 hosts up) scanned in 2.80 second

However, I just tried both ways, and nmap
complained with

    Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: _dl_check_map_versions: 
Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!
    
I get the same error with

    $ ldd $(which nmap)

I have not yet found a way to work around the bug.

It looks like bug 70503.

Ben Collins evidently thought in 2002 that this
was a bug in executables, and if they had a
DT_NEEDED entry that was empty, then they were
linked incorrectly.

For what it's worth, I'm using unstable's latest 
/usr/bin/ldd from the 2.19-13 version of the
libc-bin package.

Have you recently changed how nmap is linked or
compiled?

Thanks,
Kingsley

Nice, so I can close this bug.

Not really. We don't know the list of libpcre3 versions that broke nmap
(and possibly other programs). Within a year (more likely a month), I
would forget why I added the versioned dependency. And the libpcre3
dependency, like all library dependencies is generated automatically
using dpkg-shlibdeps anyway.
