RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ricardo Rodriguez 2016-05-17 14:40:22 UTC 
Description of problem: ipcalc has no output as fedora or debian because it is in a package apart from the initscript and in redhat/centos it is inside of the initscript and IPv6 validation fails in ipcalc redhat/centos.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install from the beginning use ipcalc 
2. ipcalc 192.168.1.1 = no result
3. ipcalc -6 -p 2001:13f0::1/32 = ipcalc: unable to show setting for IPv6

Actual results:

ipcalc 192.168.1.1 does not show any output.
ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24 does not show any output.
ipcalc -6 -p 2001:13f0::1/32
ipcalc: unable to show setting for IPv6


Expected results:


in fedora 23:
ipcalc 192.168.1.1
Address:        192.168.1.1
Network:        192.168.1.0/24

Hosts/Net:      254

ipcalc -6 -p 2001:13f0::1/32

in debian:

The ipcalc from initscripts was only meant to be used inside scripts, so the fancy output for such use cases does not make sense. In the fedora we have decided to split ipcalc to its own project and the current developer introduced couple of new nice features. I would rather play it safe here and do not backport those features to rhel.

But the ipcalc -6 -p 2001:13f0::1/32 look as a bug and we should fix it.

Comment 5 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-06-13 13:29:13 UTC 
Hmm, it is not a bug, we just don't support that :-(
    if (familyIPv6 &&
        (showBroadcast || showNetmask || showNetwork || showPrefix)) {
        if (!beSilent) {
            fprintf(stderr, "ipcalc: unable to show setting for IPv6\n");
        }
        return 1;
    }

To be honest I don't want to implement this just for rhel7, since we will have Nikos' ipcalc in the future. So unless you have strong objection I will close this as wontfix, since initscripts are now mostly in maintanance mode and we don't implement new features. Or someone sends a patch :-)
Comment 6 Ricardo Rodriguez 2016-06-15 12:29:40 UTC 
Ok, this ipcalc package for Redhat/centos/scientific will be available in 3, 6, 9 or 12 months from now? 

My dear Lukas you can mark the bug as a wontfix case.
