Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: whois
Greetings!
whois on Ubuntu 8.04 does not appear to know how to look up IPs in
recently-allocated ranges:
rtuc...@framboise:~$ whois 109.74.192.103
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.
rtuc...@framboise:~$ apt-cache policy whois
whois:
Installed: 4.7.24
Candidate: 4.7.24
Version table:
*** 4.7.24 0
500 http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
This address is in a RIPE range, and whois on 9.10 does find it with no
issue:
rtuc...@arrogant-bastard:~$ whois 109.74.192.103
% This is the RIPE Database query service.

rtuc...@arrogant-bastard:~$ apt-cache policy whois
whois:
Installed: 4.7.34ubuntu2

Version table:
