Description Tomas Dolezal 2016-10-20 15:43:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
If destination is prohibited, ping6 shows transmitted packets and exits as if no error occured (exitcode 1), errors should lead to exitcode 2. ipv4 ping behaves correctly

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iputils-20160308-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
ip route add prohibit ::20
ping6 -c 2 -w 1 ::20; echo EC=$?

Actual results:
PING ::20(::20) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Permission denied
ping: sendmsg: Permission denied

--- ::20 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

EC=1

Expected results:
zero counter of transmitted packets
exit code is 2
