Public bug reported:

While trying to make a portable script that had few required binaries
(ipcalc being one of them), I encountered a curious case where the
Fedora version is completely different than the one distributed in
Ubuntu.

This caused some issues as the behaviour is not consistent between the
two (ipcalc on Ubuntu does not return 1 if it doesn't recognise the
given input as a valid IP-address, where the one on Fedora  does).

Ubuntu uses the ipcalc from http://jodies.de/ipcalc
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipcalc) where Fedora uses
https://github.com/nmav/ipcalc
(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/ipcalc)

Would it be possible to harmonize the version used between the two or
fix the behaviour to be similar to the Fedora one?
