Description Kaarle Ritvanen 2019-11-16 12:39:07 UTC

Description of problem:
Network scripts try to execute /sbin/arping, which has been moved to /usr/bin in the iputils package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
network-scripts-10.02-2.fc31

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure an Ethernet interface with a static IP address
2. Run ifup on the interface

Actual results:
Interface becomes active but an error message is printed.

Expected results:
No error message is printed and a gratuitous ARP is sent. If another host has the same address configured, the interface is not activated.

Hi,

I created pull request which should fix this issue.

PR: https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/pull/302

Bug should be fixed in next release of initscripts.

Thank you.
Jan

/sbin/arping has been moved to /usr/sbin/arping. And because /sbin is a symlink to /usr/sbin, there is no reason why scripts that call /sbin/arping should stop working.

Comment 3 Ian Donaldson 2020-02-03 10:48:23 UTC

That would be true if arping was moved to /usr/sbin, but it wasn't; it was moved to /usr/bin, and /sbin doesn't point there.

Sorry for the confusion. I was looking at F30.

Comment 5 Jan Synacek 2020-02-03 11:17:28 UTC

There is no need to fix this in initscripts. This should be fixed in iputils, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1797525. Again, I'm sorry for the mess.
