Description Jeremy Harris 2014-05-19 10:29:47 UTC
Description of problem:

  Missing information: the manpage for "arping" (section 8) should define for all cases the return value.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  arping utility, iputils-s20121221

How reproducible:
  Always


Steps to Reproduce:
  
1. "man arping"
2.
3.

Actual results:
   Manpage output.

Expected results:
   Manpage output including defined return values for the utiliity.


Additional info:
  The return for one case of the "-D" option use is defined.  The obvious opposite case isn't (and the ifup-eth scripts depends on the behaviour).
Non-D-option use return value is not documented at all.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 15:49:32 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:05:24 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 3 Jeremy Harris 2016-07-20 08:02:22 UTC
Still present in f23

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 11:10:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This bug is currently reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported.
I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release.

Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release.
If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it.
