Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
This report should probably be verified upstream and then sent there, as it doesn't make sense for Ubuntu to diverge from other distributions on this. ** Tags added: needs-upstream-report ** Changed in: iproute2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iproute2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1467073 Title: improve feedback of ip route add nat command failure Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Support for `nat` routes has been dropped in 2.6 according to `man ip route`, yet invoking `sudo ip route add nat 192.168.178.30 via 192.168.179.1` prints `RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument` which should be `support for adding NAT routes has been dropped in Linux 2.6, see 'man ip route' for more details. Consider using [the alternative to nat routes] instead` because there's no sense in giving less feedback than possible.
