Description Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-08-29 07:41:41 UTC 
From the fping-3.3 Changelog:

> * Output statistics to stdout instead of stderr (suggested by Simon Leinen, #9)

This breaks smokeping since it expects this data on stderr. My current workaround is a shell wrapper for fping that simply does a 1>&2. Smokeping upstream has been notified, as far as I am aware. 

We need to either mask fping-3.3 or patch smokeping.

  * Version 3.4
  * Revert "Output statistics to stdout instead of stderr", because it breaks
    tools assuming the output goes to stderr
