Created attachment 557704 [details] suggested patch Hi, I've updated net-tools in rawhide to upstream git snapshot and the ifconfig output is a little different now (bug #784314). The netdump server parses ifconfig output in its init script. The fix is easy (what about using 'ip' when we are in it ?): diff -up netdump-0.7.16/netdump.init @@ -163,7 +157,7 @@ random_hex_int () ip_of_device () { - LC_ALL=C /sbin/ifconfig $1 | sed 's/:/ /' | awk '/inet addr/ {print $3}' + LC_ALL=C ip -4 -o addr show dev $1 | awk '{ print $4}' | cut -d '/' -f 1 } The init script also uses 'arp -a'. It would be good to replace it with its equivalent 'ip neigh' so we'll eviscerate net-tools' use from one more package. The attached patch is just a suggestion. Thanks.
applied, thanks!
Great. Could you also remove the 'Requires: /sbin/ifconfig' ?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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 19 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.
