[Bug 2009814] Re: Inetutils is failing almost all autopkgtests

[Dominik Viererbe]

I added the update-alternatives capability for ping to inetutils-ping
and iputils-ping.

I did some initial testing and everything seems to work. I configured
it, so that iputils-ping will be used by default.

You can try out the patches here:
https://launchpad.net/~dviererbe/+archive/ubuntu/lp-2009814

I also attached the .debdiffs for inetutils and iputils.

It would be nice if we could upstream the changes to avoid ubuntu
deltas. I will investigate this tomorrow.

** Attachment added: "patches.tar.xz"

** Changed in: inetutils (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => In Progress

Title:
  Inetutils is failing almost all autopkgtests

Status in inetutils package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  During the MIR Process for inetutils-telnet
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inetutils/+bug/2008789) I
  noticed that inetutils fails almost all autopkgtests. See:
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/i/inetutils

  The reason for the failures seems to be that inetutils-ping is in conflict with iputils-ping.
  The autopkgtests pass for i386, because iputils-ping does not build for i386
  (See: https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/iputils-ping)

  This demonstrates a problem for the MIR of inetutils-telnet. Assuming
  that inetutils-telnet will get into main; inetutils-telnet tests will
  fail every time a inetutils-* package fails, although they are in
  universe and the failure is unrelated.
