Package: net-tools
Version: 2.10-0.1+deb12u1devuan1

Hi.

After the following update


Start-Date: 2025-05-22  14:36:19
Commandline: apt-get upgrade
Upgrade: net-tools:i386 (2.10-0.1devuan1, 2.10-0.1+deb12u1devuan1), distro-info-data:i386 (0.58+deb12u3devuan1, 0.58+deb12u4devuan1)
End-Date: 2025-05-22  14:36:30


I find that (for example) ifconfig reports zero for packet and byte counts.

Brian,

Thanks. I see the same.

The only change was a Debian patch for CVE-2025-46836.

I'll try to reproduce on a Debian bookworm system.

Looks like the regression was reported at
https://bugs.debian.org/1106147 and is fixed in unstable.

I see the issue too and am installing the update to 2.10-1.3 when this
slow holiday link allows to verify... will report back on failure.
