Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20200821-2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, After iputils-ping upgrade to the recent version (3:20200821-2) I can see this error message when trying to ping any IPv4 address. # ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.041 ms --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.041/0.041/0.041/0.000 ms It seems that it is because ping tries to open an IPv6 socket: # strace ping -c 1 127.0.0.1 2>&1 | grep 'AF_INET6' socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMPV6) = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not supported by protocol) I have IPv6 disabled in my system (by ipv6.disable=1 kernel option), so I would expect ignoring the IPv6 stuff at all (even without using "-4" ping parameter explicitly). I did not see this behaviour in the previous ping version.
