Package: iproute2 Version: 4.9.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, due to this issue, I neded up with a very strange address on my network interface. I'm marking as important because it can assign unexpected addresses and cause connectivity issues.
This command: ip addr add 10.3 dev eth0 will add an address 10.3.0.0 Everything else, normally, resolves 10.3 as 10.0.0.3. Because that's the libc resolver's behaviour. ifconfig, wget, qt programs, browsers, will all use this format. If ip can't support this format, it should just fail instead of parsing it differently than everything else.
