Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20161105-1 Severity: minor File: iputils Dear Maintainer,
The man page for ping(8) has the following text in the AVAILABILITY section: ping is part of iputils package and the latest versions are available in source form at http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-cur‐ rent.tar.bz2. This url is a 404. Furthermore, the skbuff.net/iputils page only seems to have archive releases, with the current source maintained at https://github.com/iputils/iputils. I have confirmed that the issue is present in the latest version of the man page in collab-maint, as well: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/iputils.git/tree/doc/ping.sgml But the latest version in the upstream github has it fixed: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/doc/ping.xml I found out about this from someone in a networking context who needed to look at ping's source to diagnose an ICMP issue, and was frustrated by how unnecessarily roundabout it was to find that source. sney -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.10 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages iputils-ping depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u10 ii libcap2 1:2.24-8 ii libgnutls-openssl27 3.3.8-6+deb8u7 Versions of packages iputils-ping recommends: ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-8 iputils-ping suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
