Package: iputils-tracepath
Version: 3:20161105-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
It seems that traceroute6.iputils fails to work when given an address
instead of a hostname:
$ traceroute6.iputils localhost
traceroute to (::1) from ::1, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets
1 localhost (::1) 0.052 ms 0.021 ms 0.022 ms
$ traceroute6.iputils ::1
traceroute to ::1 (::1) from ::1, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets
sendto: Invalid argument
1 traceroute: wrote ::1 24 chars, ret=-1
*sendto: Invalid argument
traceroute: wrote ::1 24 chars, ret=-1
*sendto: Invalid argument
traceroute: wrote ::1 24 chars, ret=-1
*
sendto: Invalid argument
2 traceroute: wrote ::1 24 chars, ret=-1
*sendto: Invalid argument
traceroute: wrote ::1 24 chars, ret=-1
The differance in sendto seems to be the port number 33434 vs 0:
# strace traceroute6.iputils localhost
sendto(4, "\0\0\1\253\0\0\0\3\334\327.Y\0\0\0\0e\177\2\0\0\0\0\0", 24, 0,
{sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(33434), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1",
&sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0), sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = 24
# strace traceroute6.iputils ::1
sendto(4, "\0\0\1\232\0\0\0\3\227\327.Y\0\0\0\0\202\237\7\0\0\0\0\0", 24, 0,
{sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1",
&sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0), sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)
