Package: fping
Version: 4.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
Hi!
The change to remove the fping6 binary breaks smokeping slaves on older
Debian systems (and other distributions) for me.
Example:
I have defined a smokeping probe like this on my master:
,----
| + FPing6
| binary = /usr/bin/fping
| timeout = 30
`----
This configuration is sent to each slave, but on the slaves running
Stretch, Jessie or Wheezy this will result in errors, because the older
"/usr/bin/fping" binary is not IPv6 capable.
My workaround is to create a symlink /usr/bin/fping6 -> /usr/bin/fping
on the master server and change the probe (back) to
,----
| + FPing6
| binary = /usr/bin/fping6
| timeout = 30
`----
so the configuration is valid for any system.
I think you need to provide this compatibility symlink in the package
for at least the Buster release cycle, maybe even for the one after that
so that scripts and multi-server environments can be migrated.
Grüße,
Sven.
