fping (4.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium For backward compatibility with remote smokeping configurations on older releases, the fping Debian package will continue to provide /usr/bin/fping6 until at least Debian 9 Stretch is end of life. Please do not use fping6 in scripts or configurations which don't require it for backwards-compatibility with older fping versions. -- Axel Beckert Wed, 06 Sep 2017 01:57:56 +0200 fping (4.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium From the upstream changelog: fping and fping6 are now unified into one binary. It means that, for example, doing 'fping google.com' is going to ping the IPv6 IP of google.com on IPv6-enabled hosts. You can force usage of IPv6 or IPv4 by adding the commandline options -4 or -6. -- Axel Beckert Sat, 26 Aug 2017 09:26:46 +0200
