Ran just into it myself: This is really a serous issue as it completely breaks the IP network. An unexperienced user is getting doomed here.
I suggest, you just remove all the rdepends from the arping package. This will prevent uninstalling the iputils package with all its dependencies. As arping's binary installs in /usr/sbin/, iputil's arping will not be harmed, both will live together peacefully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833546 Title: iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arping/+bug/833546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
