Package: fping
Version: 2.4b2-to-ipv6-11
Severity: normal
Hi,
fping does not accept -r0 option to disable retry, instead it prints out
usage information claiming 0 is the default value for -r, which is very
confusing, as the manpage of fping(8) says the default is 3.
The following patch enables -r0 for fping, and fixes the usage
information.
