When I try to reinstall iputils when git is not installed then the build fail with error message "git command not found". I think there is missing build time dependency on git.

Confirmed, but this is not critical. From Makefile: > [...] > # ------------------------------------- > IPV4_TARGETS=tracepath ping clockdiff rdisc arping tftpd rarpd > IPV6_TARGETS=tracepath6 traceroute6 ping6 > TARGETS=$(IPV4_TARGETS) $(IPV6_TARGETS) > > LDLIBS=$(LDLIB) $(ADDLIB) > > UNAME_N:=$(shell uname -n) > LASTTAG:=$(shell git describe HEAD | sed -e 's/-.*//') > TODAY=$(shell date +%Y/%m/%d) > DATE=$(shell date --date $(TODAY) +%Y%m%d) > TAG:=$(shell date --date=$(TODAY) +s%Y%m%d) > [...] https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/Makefile#L124 So when the Makefile will be called and LASTTAG isn't set, it calls `git describe HEAD...`. The variable isn't used in the following targets we use.
