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
(In reply to Kaarle Ritvanen from comment #0) > Description of problem: > Network scripts try to execute /sbin/arping, which has been moved to > /usr/bin in the iputils package. /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.
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.
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.
