Probably ifenslave too - ip should be used instead. |

# rpm -q --filesbypkg iputils-20210202-2.fc34.x86_64 | egrep bin |

That's fedora downstream specific, it has never been part of iputils upstream. |

I'm in favor of dropping traceroute6. I'd also be in favor of dropping tftpd and ninfod. Possibly rarpd and rdisc as well, but I'm not familiar with the quality of the alternatives. |

I would propose link to suitable replacement solution from build process, when traceroute6 will be requested |
|
Fine with me. |
traceroute6 requires inetd to run, that is quite a rarity nowadays. Due this it has been disabled since 2615a52 ("build-sys: change build defaults") (released in s20190324) because there are much better implementation from Dmitry Butskoy [1]. Also it can be replaced by other tools, e.g. tracepath -6 or mtr. [1] http://traceroute.sourceforge.net/ Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <[email protected]>

Lets drop software which does not make much sense to carry out.
NOTE: later something else to remove? I'd suggest
tftpd(dnsmasqhas much better alternative) and consider alsorarpd,rdisc.
